hideously
In monstrous fashion
Hideously means in a hideous manner—repulsively, shockingly, or to an extreme degree.
Something hideously disfigured is grotesquely altered.
A plan that goes hideously wrong fails spectacularly and disastrously.
The word often emphasizes severity rather than literal ugliness: The project was hideously over budget.
