expensively
This adverb describes an action performed at a high cost or a state of being characterized by luxury and extravagance. It is most frequently used to modify verbs of purchase or creation, or as a predicate adjective describing the appearance of an object. While it denotes a high price, it does not inherently imply value or quality; something can be expensively made but still be poorly designed.
In terms of register, it is a neutral term, though in social contexts, it often carries a subtle connotation of ostentation or luxury. It is distinct from "costly," which is more frequently used as an adjective to describe the price of a single item rather than the manner in which something is acquired or decorated.
