Panickily? panickedly? panically?
Hi, I'm looking for a word that is the adverb form of "panic" (that is, in a panicked manner). The words I found are panickily, panickedly and panically; however, they don't seem to be widely used. Are there any better words for this?
Panickily is the only word with an entry on Wiktionary; panically seems to be the most common form, but at 20,000 Google hits, it still seems pretty uncommon.
