interrogatively

/ɪntˈɛɹəɡətˌɪvli/ adv

In an interrogative manner; by means of a question.

Word Origin From Latin inter- 'between' and rogare 'to ask' — interrogate is literally 'ask between,' a formal questioning. Interrogatively means in a questioning manner. The root rogare gives us arrogant (asking for oneself, claiming), abrogate (ask away, repeal), derogate (ask down, detract), surrogate (ask in place of), and prerogative (asked first, privilege). The PIE *h₃reg- meant 'to stretch out the hand, ask.'
