> 彼女は今になって到着し、廊下から **ひょっこりと** 顔を出す。

This と looks like it comes from the word behind, so ひょっこり but when looking at
a dictionary I found that ひょっこり is not an adjective which can take と. Why is と
placed after this adverb, then?

For instance, it is specified that ゆっくり is an adverb which can take the と
particle, however, there is no mention of that regarding ひょっこり.

question
adverbs
A bit confused with と in ひょっこりと
ひょっこり definitely belongs to the "adverb taking the 'to' particle" category,
which is described in the following questions:

  * [What role does と play in this sentence?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/36764/5010)
  * [What is the purpose of adding と?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/24943/5010)
  * [What does adding と after an adverb do?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/42163/5010)
  * [How is と used here?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/55234/5010)

I don't know why jisho doesn't mention it can (optionally) take と. It may be
simply because this word is relatively uncommon.
