revengefully

/ɹiˈvɛndʒfəlli/ adv

In a revengeful manner.

Word Origin Revengefully comes from revengeful, from revenge, from Latin re- 'back' + vindicare 'to claim, avenge, punish.' Vindicare gives us vindicate, avenge, and vengeance. The PIE root *weik- 'to fight, conquer' also gives us victor, vanquish, and convince. So revengefully means 'in a manner full of claiming back, getting even.'
