intrusively

/ˌɪnˈtɹusɪvli/ adv

In an intrusive manner; by intrusion.

Word Origin 'Intrusive' comes from Latin 'intrudere' — 'in-' (into) + 'trudere' (to thrust, push). So to intrude is to push oneself in. 'Intrusively' means in a pushing-in manner. The root 'trudere' gives us 'extrude' (push out), 'protrude' (push forward), 'obtrude' (push against), and 'abstruse' (pushed away, hard to understand). The PIE root *treud- means to push.
