enviously

/ˈɛnviəsɫi/ adv

in an envious manner or to an envious degree

Word Origin Envious comes from Latin 'invidiosus', from 'invidia' 'envy' ('in-' 'upon' + 'videre' 'to see'). So enviously means 'with a gaze of envy.' The same root gives us visual, visible, and evident (seen clearly). The negative sense of looking askance is built into the word from the start.
