unnervingly
In disturbing fashion
Unnervingly describes something done in a way that disturbs or unsettles: She stared at me unnervingly long.
The word suggests a quiet discomfort rather than outright fear—something feels off or threatening without being explicitly so: The house was unnervingly quiet, He smiled unnervingly.
