remorselessly

/ɹɪˈmɔɹsɫəsli/ adv C1 ✓

Without remorse; in a remorseless manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'mordere' meaning 'to bite'—remorse is literally 'biting back,' that gnawing feeling of guilt. So remorselessly means without that bite, without any pang of conscience. The same root gives us 'mordant' (bitingly sarcastic) and 'morsel' (a small bite of food). A vivid word: you can almost feel the teeth.
