Advanced Usage

Notes on Meaning
  • The primary and most frequent meaning of freshly relates to time (i.e., something done very recently).
  • The secondary meaning relating to manner (in a fresh way) is now rare. In modern usage, the adjective "fresh" is typically used instead (e.g., "The air smelled fresh," not "freshly").
  • The reference context phrase "fresh out of tomatoes" uses the adjective "fresh" in the idiom "to be fresh out of," meaning to have just run out of something. "Freshly" is not used in this idiom.
