calculatedly
Done by design
Calculatedly means in a deliberate, premeditated way—with forethought rather than impulse or accident.
The word often carries a negative connotation, suggesting cold scheming: She calculatedly ignored him at the party.
It emphasizes that an action was planned for effect rather than spontaneous.
