In a way that involves secretly agreeing with others to do something dishonest or wrong.
Formed by adding '-ly' to 'conniving' (the present participle of 'connive'), creating an adverb that describes how an action is performed with connivance.
This adverb captures the sneaky manner perfectly—it's not just what someone does, but the shifty *way* they do it, like a criminal winking at their accomplice during a trial.
