revoltingly

/ɹiˈvoʊɫtɪŋli/ adv

In a revolting manner; with repulsion or disgust.

Word Origin Revoltingly comes from revolting, from revolt, from Latin re- 'back' + volvere 'to roll, turn.' Volvere gives us revolve, revolution, involve, evolve, and volume (a rolled scroll). The PIE root *wel- 'to turn, roll' also gives us wallow, helix, and willow (the flexible tree). So revoltingly means 'in a way that makes you roll back in disgust.'

adv In a revolting manner; with repulsion or disgust.

The smell from the dumpster was revoltingly foul, making everyone cover their noses.
