monopolistically
Like sole sellers
Monopolistically describes action taken in the manner of a monopoly—dominating a market or resource to exclude competition.
A company that monopolistically controls an industry sets prices without competitive pressure.
The word appears in economic and legal contexts, often with negative connotations of unfair market power.
