Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'sneaking', yielding a direct adverbial meaning 'in a sneaky manner'.
Etymology
Sneakingly comes from the verb sneak, which once meant 'to move quietly' or 'to creep'. Think of the shoe sneaker, made to walk softly, so to act sneakingly is to do something quietly and 'in secret'.
