interrogatingly

/ˌɪnˈtɛɹəˌɡeɪtɪŋli/ adv

So as to interrogate; with urgent or bullying questioning.

Word Origin From Latin inter 'between' and rogare 'to ask' — interrogating is literally 'asking between' people, a back-and-forth questioning. The root rogare also gives us arrogant (asking for oneself excessively), prerogative (a prior asking, privilege), and abrogate (ask away, repeal).
