accusingly

/əkˈjuzɪŋɫi/ adv

In an accusing manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'ad-' (to) and 'causa' (cause, lawsuit) — literally 'calling to account.' Accusingly means in an accusing manner. The root 'causa' is the same as in cause, because, excuse (to free from cause), and recuse (to reject a judge). So accusingly carries the weight of a legal charge.
