aggressively

/əˈɡɹɛsɪvɫi/ adv B2 ✓

In an aggressive manner.

Word Origin Built from Latin ad- 'to, toward' and gradi 'to step' — literally 'stepping toward' someone. That's the core of aggression: a hostile advance. The same root gress gives us progress (step forward), regress (step back), and congress (a stepping together). The breakdown ag+gress+ive+ly makes it clear: stepping toward with intensity.
