frigidly

/ˈfɹɪdʒədli/ adv

In a frigid manner; coldly; icily.

Word Origin From Latin frigere 'to be cold' — frigid means extremely cold, and frigidly is doing something in a cold manner. The same root gives us refrigerator (a thing that makes cold), refrigerant (a cooling substance), and frigidity (coldness). The PIE *srig- meant 'cold,' and is also in the Greek rhigos 'frost.'
