How to use "Delicately" in context?
Often, words that seem gentle on the surface may have hidden power if used carelessly. For instance, the word delicately can be used to describe something that is delicate or sensitive. However, this word can also be used to describe something that is skillfully done or handled. For example, if someone says that they delicately removed the Gordian Knot, this means that the person used their precise handling skills to remove the knot.
