nauseatingly

/ˈnɔʒiˌeɪtɪŋli/ adv

In a nauseating manner; sickeningly.

Word Origin Nauseatingly comes from nauseate, which traces back to Greek naus 'ship'—so nausea originally meant 'seasickness,' the sickness you get on a ship. The PIE root *nau- also gives us nautical, astronaut (star-sailor), and navy. The breakdown nauseat+ing+ly shows the present participle turned adverb: in a way that causes seasickness.
