rebelliously

/ɹəˈbɛljəsli/ adv

In a rebellious manner.

Word Origin From Latin 're-' (again) and 'bellum' (war)—so to rebel is literally to 'wage war again.' The adverb rebelliously carries that defiant, war-like spirit. The root 'bellum' also gives us 'belligerent' (waging war), 'bellicose' (warlike), and 'antebellum' (before the war). You can almost hear the battle drums in the word.
