lopsidedly

/ˈɫɑpˈsaɪdɪdli/ adv

In a lopsided manner.

Word Origin Lopsidedly comes from lopsided, which combines lop (from Old Norse 'to hang loosely, droop') and side. So something lopsided is drooping to one side, unbalanced. The -ly makes it an adverb. Related words include lop-eared (having drooping ears) and all the side compounds: aside, inside, outside, beside.

adv In a lopsided manner.
