egotistically

/ˌiɡəˈtɪstɪkəɫli/ adv

in an egotistic manner

Word Origin Egotistical adds a -t- (from egotism, perhaps influenced by 't' in words like 'egotize') to ego. Egotistically means 'in a conceited, self-important way'. The -t- is a bit of a mystery, but it distinguishes egotism (obtrusive self-importance) from egoism (self-interest as a philosophy).
