repulsively
This adverb describes an action or quality that triggers a strong feeling of disgust, aversion, or intense dislike. It carries a heavy emotional weight, moving beyond simple dislike into the realm of visceral revulsion. Because of its intensity, it is typically used to describe things that are physically grotesque or morally abhorrent.
In social contexts, using this word is a strong judgment. It is far more severe than "unpleasantly" or "offensively," as it suggests that the subject is so offensive that the observer feels a physical or psychological need to recoil or move away.
