contrastingly
In opposing fashion
Contrastingly introduces a point that differs markedly from what preceded it: The first experiment failed; contrastingly, the second succeeded.
The word is formal and somewhat awkward—most writers prefer *by contrast*, *in contrast*, or simply *conversely*.
It appears mainly in academic writing.
