superciliously
In snobbish manner
Superciliously means in a manner that conveys haughty disdain or condescending superiority.
Someone who acts superciliously looks down on others, often with an air of bored contempt: She glanced superciliously at the cheaper wines on the menu.
The word derives from the Latin for "eyebrow"—evoking the raised brow of aristocratic dismissal.
