frantically
With wild urgency
Frantically means in a desperate, hurried, or panicked manner.
Someone searching frantically for lost keys is moving quickly and anxiously.
The word often suggests urgency bordering on loss of control: She frantically waved for help.
It can also describe intense effort without the panic: They worked frantically to meet the deadline.
