Denyingly

/dɪˈnaɪɪŋli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that denies, refuses, or rejects something; with negation or refusal.

Etymology

Formed from 'denying' (the present participle of 'deny') with the adverbial suffix '-ly,' describing how an action is performed with denial or refusal.

Kelly Says

The adverb 'denyingly' rarely appears in modern English, which shows how some words become too archaic even for literary use—scholars studying 18th-century texts might encounter it, but it's essentially obsolete in contemporary writing.
