Softly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gently

'softly' is the definition.
(I know that softly can be written as gently)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gently that I've seen before include "Mildly, kindly" , "Not violently" , "in a peaceful manner?" , "Softly, delicately" , "Lightly, mildly, softly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
