reversely
Going the opposite
Reversely means in a reverse manner or direction—backwards, in the opposite way, or with the order inverted.
The word functions as the adverb form of reverse but is uncommon; most speakers prefer in reverse, conversely, or simply backwards.
The mechanism works reversely when you flip the switch.
