aloofly

Adverb

aloofly (comparative alooflier, superlative aloofliest)

1. In an aloof manner.
   • 1919, Thomas Hardy, "For Life I Had Never Cared Greatly" in Moments of Vision:

     With symphonies soft and sweet colour

     It courted me then,

     Till evasions seemed wrong,

     Till evasions gave in to its song,

     And I warmed, until living aloofly loomed duller

     Than life among men.
