hostilely

/ˈhɑ.staɪl.li/ adv

In a hostile manner.

Word Origin Hostilely comes from hostile, from Latin hostilis 'of an enemy.' The root hostis originally meant 'stranger,' but the meaning shifted from 'stranger' to 'enemy' — a sad commentary on human nature. Interestingly, the same root gave us hospes 'host/guest' and hospitality, showing how strangers can be either welcomed or feared. Hostilely means in an enemy-like manner.
