contrastingly

/kənˈtɹæstɪŋli/ adv

In a contrasting manner; by way of contrast.

Word Origin Contrast comes from Latin contra 'against' and stare 'to stand' — literally 'standing against' for comparison. Contrastingly means 'in a contrasting manner.' The stare root is prolific: stand, state, station, constant (standing firm), distant (standing apart). So contrasting things stand opposed.
