In a brusk manner; speaking or acting in an abrupt and rude way.
Formed by adding the adverb suffix '-ly' to 'brusk', following the standard English pattern of converting adjectives to adverbs.
The '-ly' adverb suffix is so common that speakers sometimes turn any adjective into an adverb automatically, which is why we even have 'slowly' despite it being somewhat redundant!
