Etymology: Inherited from Middle English hungryly, equivalent to hungry + -ly.

  1. In a hungry way or manner; with hunger.

    For at the last shall the thunder, fleeing to escape from the doom of the gods, roar horribly among the Worlds; and Time, the hound of the gods, shall bay hungrily at his masters because he is lean with age.

    Nungi was too hungrily cross to be respectful.
