<upd_detl>Looks like a similar case to むっくり. From the refs, it seems like it's used by a third party describing someone's actions which seem sudden, but they have presumably deliberated upon beforehand.</upd_detl>

* 徐徐に gets 8,112 counts, but even if we deduct those counts, 徐に seems to be more common than 徐ろに
* None of my refs have our sense [1], but meikyo notes that it's an erroneous usage. Maybe add a [col] tag?</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>According to a 2014 survey, the "incorrect" meaning is nearly as common as the original meaning. Among people under 50, the "suddenly" sense dominates. The link above has a graph that shows the responses by age. A note might be better than col.

<upd_detl>i mean, you can disagree but the case was not just "i think" and that's it
"ゆっくり" is the more common variant as noted below, even if not by a lot (as noted by daijs too)
even daijr and jitsuyou that don't outright call it "あやまり" still start with with that sense</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>&gt;i mean, you can disagree but the case was not just "i think" and that's it

It essentially was as you said it's "more common" but didn't bother to explain how you arrived at that conclusion. Kokugos very rarely lead with senses that are considered incorrect or colloquial when there's a more "proper" meaning that's still in common use.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>&gt;you said it's "more common" but didn't bother to explain how you arrived at that conclusion

if you scroll down and check out the old comments you'll see robin scott mentioning a 2014 survey where the "ゆっくり" meaning is indeed slightly more common
this survey is also mentioned by daijs

i don't want to create a long discussion so this will be my last comment, but yeah i don't feel like my edit was unmotivated</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>When you want to argue for an edit that's been rejected once or twice, actually argue for it and do so with new or more detailed arguments and do it without reinstating the old edit. Just briefly restating that you think something js "weird" isn't going to win anybody over. The link Robin posted is 10 years old and he summarized it saying the "erroneous" sense dominates among those under 50 - extrapolated that would mean it dominates among those under 60 today.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>i have made a very clear and concise case for the edit, you're just totally ignoring half of what i said
i'm still going to repeat it even more clearly for you
1. the proper sense is more popular (fantasizing how this might changed in the last few years with no stats whatsoever is not a real counter-argument, especially in a low birth rate country like japan. also notice in the graph how the "不意に" actually *decreases* in the youngest generation)
2. almost all the kokugos (and gg5) only list the proper meaning
3. the few that do have the improper meaning list it as "あやまり" or at the very least tag it as "俗" *after* the proper meaning (see sankoku, which is much more considerate of slang and 若者言葉) 

if i had to add something
4. a good amount of people use jmdict in their life for translation work or to enjoy novels more easily, and literature almost exclusively uses "おもむろに" in the proper meaning 

man, i genuinely have no idea why people have to get so combative and rude and just engage in bad faith for a simple edit like this</upd_detl>
