dominantly

/ˈdɑmənəntli/ adv C1 ✓

In a dominant manner.

Word Origin From Latin dominus 'master of the house' — to dominate is to be the master. Dominant means ruling, controlling, and dominantly means in a commanding manner. The root domus 'house' is the same as in domestic: the master of the house became the ruler. Related words: dominion (rule), predominant (ruling over others), and even domain. The breakdown domin+ant+ly shows: master + being + in a manner. So acting dominantly is acting like the master of the house.
