From committal + -ly.

Meanings

1. In a committal manner.
   • It is even a convention in some quarters (which I shall not follow) to use "I will do x" as an intentive and "I shall do x" as an indicative; or at any rate, less committally, "I will" where there is, as Fowler's Modern English Usage puts it, "an implication of intention, volition, or choice". 1987, Robert Dunn, The Possibility of Weakness of Will, page 67:
