Curstly

/ˈkɜrstli/ adverb

Definition

In a cursed, damned, or unfortunate manner (an extremely rare or archaic variant, possibly dialectal).

Etymology

From 'curst' (cursed) plus '-ly,' though this form is so rare it may be a dialectal or obsolete variant rarely documented in standard dictionaries.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure that even language historians would struggle to find historical examples—it might be the English equivalent of a linguistic ghost!
