I'm trying to figure out what the term is that describes words that look like
this:

> やっぱり； さっぱり； うっかり； こっそり； ひっそり； ぐっすり； すっきり

They seem similar to 擬態語、義質語、and 擬音語, but I think they have a separate
classification...

Is there a term that describes words like this? (Please let me know if this
has already been asked). If there is not a term, how would one talk about
these adverbs in Japanese? If I needed to state that "I have problems
remembering (these types) of adverbs", how would one go about explaining that?

question
terminology
What do you call these words?
They are called adverbs. Among them, やっぱり and うっかり are called sentential
adverbs, and are independent of the core event described by the predicate.
さっぱり, ひっそり, ぐっすり, and すっきり are called manner adverbs, and are directly tied to
the core event described by the predicate. I am not sure which group こっそり
belongs to.
