The correct answer is "accusingly". Moreover, I have never heard anyone using the word "accusedly". Does it really exist?? A native speaker can perhaps clarify that... Thanks in advance! ;))

According to an American thesaurus accursedly is an adverb but it𠏋 not a word that I know and it𠏋 not in either my Oxford or Cambridge dictionaries.
Enjoy. |

As far as i ´m aware in modern day English accusedly doesn ´t exist. Moreover, i doubt it ever did, so the answer is quite clear, accusingly is correct. I have checked my Websters to find this word, and it isn ´t in there. This means it never was.

Accusedly means allegedly as in The teenager accusedly drove the car at 85 mph, whereas accusingly means in an accusing manner as in ´You took my lunch money! � Janet said to Mark accusingly. |
