jealously

/ˈdʒɛɫəsɫi/ adv B2 ✓

In a jealous manner.

Word Origin Jealous comes from Greek 'zēlos' meaning zeal or ardor — but it took a negative turn through Latin and French to mean envious suspicion. So jealously is the adverb: acting with jealousy. The same root gives us zeal (enthusiasm) and zealous (passionate). The original meaning was intense emotion, which could be positive or negative.
