violently
In brutal fashion
Violently means with intense physical force or aggression: The door slammed violently in the wind, He was violently attacked.
It extends to emotional or physiological intensity: violently ill, violently opposed.
The word often emphasizes extremity rather than literal violence: I violently disagree with that assessment.
