bloodthirstily

/blˈʌdθɚstili/ adv

In a bloodthirsty manner.

Word Origin A compound of 'blood' and 'thirst', so bloodthirsty means having a thirst for blood. The adverb bloodthirstily describes doing something with that savage craving. Both roots are Germanic: 'blood' from *blōþam, 'thirst' from *þurstuz (dryness). The PIE root *ters- for thirst also gives us 'torrid' (parched) and 'toast' (dried out). So it's a primal, visceral word.
