Etymology
Swooningly comes from the simple verb swoon, which means to 'faint' or to be so full of feeling that you almost pass out. The ending -ly makes it mean 'in that way', so swooningly means doing something in a faint, dreamy, or overly romantic way because you are overwhelmed by love or admiration.
