grossly
This adverb carries a strong negative charge, typically used to emphasize a violation of standards, ethics, or social norms. When used to mean extreme or flagrant, it often collocates with words like "unfair," "negligent," or "misrepresented," signaling that the degree of error is not just a mistake but is shocking or unacceptable.
In its second sense, the word describes a lack of refinement or a presence of vulgarity. This usage is more visceral and relates to physical or behavioral disgust, contrasting with the more abstract, legalistic tone of the first sense.
