cuttingly
This adverb describes a style of communication that is intentionally sharp and designed to wound. It carries a strong negative connotation of cruelty or coldness, suggesting a precision in the criticism that makes it more painful than a general outburst of anger.
Because it describes a specific manner of speaking or writing, it is almost exclusively used to modify verbs of communication such as speak, remark, reply, or write. It is a formal term and is rarely used in casual, spoken conversation, where words like sharply or harshly are more common.
