In a gentle manner (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mildly

'in a gentle manner' is the definition.
(I know this)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for mildly that I've seen before include "gentleness" , "Gently or moderately" , "In a gentle way" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Times, the USA Today, the Newsday.com and the Wall Street Journal.
