Blightingly

/ˈblaɪtɪŋli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that blights or causes ruin; destructively or harmfully.

Etymology

Adverbial form of 'blighting' using the '-ly' suffix to transform the adjective into an adverb describing how an action is performed.

Kelly Says

The '-ly' suffix is so productive in English that you can theoretically add it to almost any adjective, creating adverbs that might be used only once in literature but are grammatically perfect.
