In a carnivorous manner; in a way that involves eating or preferring meat.
From 'carnivorous' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. This transforms the adjective into an adverb describing how an action is performed.
You might say a lion 'hunts carnivorously' to emphasize that its entire hunting strategy is optimized for meat—but normally we'd just say 'hunts carnivores' or 'hunts meat.' It's a quirky word that exists more in dictionaries than in actual speech!
