resentfully

/ɹɪˈzɛntfəɫli/ adv

In a resentful manner.

Word Origin Resentfully comes from resent, which is literally 'to feel again' — from Latin re- 'again' and sentire 'to feel'. The idea is that resentment is a re-feeling of a past hurt. The root sentire also gives us sense, sensitive, consent, dissent, and sentiment. The adverb resentfully adds -ful and -ly, so it's 'in a manner full of re-feeling'.
