defectively

/dɪˈfɛktɪvli/ adv

In a defective manner.

Word Origin From Latin de- 'away' and facere 'to do, make' — a defect is something 'made away,' a flaw where something is missing. The same facere root gives us affect (do to), effect (do out), perfect (done thoroughly), and factory (place where things are made). The PIE root *dhe- 'to set, put' is behind a huge family of words.
