grossly

In egregious fashion

Grossly means to an extreme or excessive degree, almost always in negative contexts: grossly negligent, grossly unfair, grossly overweight.

The word implies something has gone far beyond acceptable limits.

Less commonly, grossly can mean in a coarse or vulgar manner, from the older sense of gross as crude or indelicate.
