woundingly

/ˈwundɪŋli/ adv

In a way that wounds

Word Origin Wound is from Old English wund, a word that has stayed remarkably stable. Wounding is the act of inflicting a wound, and woundingly is the adverb — doing something in a wounding manner. The -ing and -ly suffixes turn the noun into a verb participle and then an adverb. It's a simple Germanic word, no Latin influence.
