WORD OF THE DAY
When you do things warily, you're cautious and concerned. Behaving warily is like treating the situation with kid gloves.

People drive warily on ice, and they walk warily on ice, too. When you're acting warily — in other words, being wary — you're worried about what could happen, so you're careful and you take precautions.
