crudely

/ˈkɹudɫi/ adv C1 ✓

In a crude manner.

Word Origin From Latin crudus 'raw, uncooked' — so crude originally meant unprocessed, in a natural state. The sense of 'rough, vulgar' developed from that rawness. Crudely is doing something in a raw, unrefined way. Interestingly, cruel comes from the same root, as cruelty is a kind of rawness of character.
