malignantly
In harmful fashion
Malignantly describes acting with intent to cause harm or suffering.
A tumor that spreads malignantly threatens life; a person who smiles malignantly takes pleasure in another's misfortune.
The word suggests not just harm but a kind of evil purpose behind it: He stared malignantly at his rival across the room.
