rancidly
With a stale reek
In a rancid manner—with the stale, sour quality of spoiled fat or oil.
The word describes how something smells, tastes, or figuratively presents itself with offensive staleness: The butter had turned and smelled rancidly of old grease.
Rarely used; rancid itself usually suffices.
