demonstratively
In expressive fashion
Demonstratively means in a way that openly displays feelings or intentions.
Someone who hugs you demonstratively makes their affection visible.
The word can also mean in a way that serves as proof or demonstration: He pointed demonstratively at the evidence.
The emotional sense—showing feelings outwardly rather than keeping them private—is more common.
