contagiously

/kənˈteɪdʒəsli/ adv

In a contagious manner

Word Origin From Latin contagio, from con- 'together' and tangere 'to touch' — so contagion is literally 'touching together,' the spread of disease through contact. The same root tangere gives us tactile (relating to touch), tangible (touchable), and contact (touching together). Contagiously describes how something spreads like a disease, from one touch to another.
