    liberally (comparative more liberally, superlative most liberally)

    1. In a liberal manner; generously; freely.
      • 2018, James Lambert, "A multitude of ‘lishes’: The nomenclature of hybridity", in English World-Wide‎[1] , page 2:
        Urban Dictionary records at least 66 of the terms found by the present research, but as this dictionary liberally accepts words, definitions, and sample sentences based solely on the say-so of contributors, in the absence of corroboration from other sources the authenticity of some entries must remain dubious.
    2. In accordance with political views associated with the liberals.
