outrightly

In total fashion

Outrightly is the adverb form of outright, meaning completely, directly, or without reservation.

Though grammatically valid, it's rarely used—outright already functions as an adverb: She rejected the offer outright sounds more natural than She rejected the offer outrightly.

When outrightly does appear, it carries the same sense of totality or directness.
