coarsely

/ˈkɔː(ɹ)sli/ adv

in a coarse manner

Word Origin Coarse originally meant 'of the body' — from Latin corpus, because things of the body were considered ordinary, not refined. Over time, it shifted to mean rough, crude, or unpolished. That's why we have corpse (a dead body) and corporeal (bodily), while coarse now describes sandpaper or language.
