Blusterously

/ˈblʌstərəsli/ adverb

Definition

In a blusterous manner; with blustering characteristics; noisily and aggressively.

Etymology

Blusterous + -ly (adverb suffix). Stacks two sophisticated suffixes to create a formal adverb.

Kelly Says

The -ously ending is particularly formal because it combines Latin -ous with Germanic -ly, which is why 'blusterously' sounds grand but is rarely used in modern English.
