覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
`radiantly` はまず形容詞 `radiant` を知ると覚えやすいです。`radiant smile` で「ぱっと光が差すような笑顔」、そこに `-ly` が付いて「晴れやかに・輝くように」。`brightly` が単に明るく見える感じなのに対し、`radiantly` は内側の喜びや美しさが外ににじみ出る響きがあります。人の表情・目・笑顔と相性がよく、`She smiled radiantly.` の形で丸ごと覚えると定着しやすいです。
See the base word `radiant` inside `radiantly`. That link helps you remember that this adverb is often used with faces, smiles, and happy appearances. A strong example is `She smiled radiantly`, which gives both the sound and the feeling of the word.

radiantly の語源・成り立ち Etymology
radiantly はラテン語 radius「光線・車輪の棒」に遡る radi- に、現在分詞由来の -ant と副詞語尾 -ly が付いた形です。radiation や radiant と同根で、ただ明るいのでなく「光を外へ放つように」晴れやかだ、という像が見えてきます。
Radiantly comes from radiant plus the adverb ending -ly. Radiant goes back to Latin radius, meaning "ray" or "spoke," and the root developed the sense of sending out rays. From that image, the word came to suggest not just brightness, but brightness that seems to shine outward. Related words include radiation and radius.
