faultily

/fˈɔltili/ adv

In a faulty manner

Word Origin From 'fault' (Latin fallere 'to deceive, fail') with the adverbial suffix -ly. Faultily means in a faulty manner. The root fallere gives us a whole family: fail, false, fallacy, fallible, and infallible. The -i- is a connecting vowel. The idea of 'fault' originally meant a deception or a failing, which later became a defect.
