inhumanely

/ˌɪnhjuˈmeɪnli/ adv

In an inhumane manner.

Word Origin From Latin humanus 'human, kind'. Humane originally meant 'befitting a human being' — compassionate, civilized. Inhumanely means lacking that kindness. The same root gives us humanity, humanism, and even homicide (killing a human). The in- prefix simply negates the humane quality.
