repugnantly

/ɹiˈpəɡnəntli/ adv

In a repugnant manner.

Word Origin From Latin 're-' (back, against) and 'pugnare' (to fight) — literally 'fighting back'. Something repugnant is so offensive it makes you fight against it. The root 'pugnare' also gives us 'impugn' (to fight against with words) and 'pugnacious' (eager to fight). The breakdown 're+pugn+ant+ly' shows the fighting spirit.
