queerly
In unusual fashion
Queerly means in an odd, strange, or unusual manner: He looked at me queerly, as if I'd said something disturbing.
The word has become less common as queer shifted from meaning strange to identifying LGBTQ+ people and culture.
In contemporary usage, queerly sometimes describes doing something through a queer lens or sensibility: a queerly reimagined fairy tale.
