adversely

/ædˈvɝsɫi/ adv

In an adverse manner.

Word Origin Adversely comes from Latin 'adversus', turned against, from 'ad-' (toward) and 'vertere' (to turn). So something adverse is turned toward you in opposition. The root 'vertere' gives us a huge family: convert, reverse, invert, divert, universe, versatile, and many more. The -ly suffix makes it an adverb. So adversely means in a hostile, opposing manner.
