damningly
In accusatory fashion
In a manner that proves guilt or condemns: The evidence pointed damningly toward the CEO.
Often describes how facts, testimony, or silence reveals wrongdoing or failure: She was damningly silent when asked about the missing funds.
The word carries the weight of judgment—something presented damningly leaves little room for defense.
