testily
This adverb describes a specific type of reactive irritability. It suggests a sharp, sudden, and often disproportionate response to a stimulus, typically characterized by a short temper or a lack of patience. It is frequently used to describe the tone of voice or the manner of a spoken reply.
In terms of register, it is a standard descriptive term used in both narrative prose and everyday conversation. It differs from "angrily" in that it implies a state of being easily provoked or "on edge" rather than a deep-seated or intense rage.
