sneakishly (comparative more sneakishly, superlative most sneakishly)

  1. In a sneakish manner.
    • 1912, G. K. Chesterton, “The Sectarian of Society”, in A Miscellany of Men[1]:
      [] when men come together to profess a creed, they come courageously, though it is to hide in catacombs and caves. But when they come together in a clique they come sneakishly, eschewing all change or disagreement, though it is to dine to a brass band in a big London hotel.
