All dictionaries listed ungodly only as an adjective. Ungodlily was listed on Word Hippo, but I’m not so sure if it’s reliable. So, is there an adverb for ungodly, and if so, what is it? Ungodlily sounds a bit awkward and clunky.
Here’s the sentence in question: They were [ungodlily] outnumbered. I don’t think ungodly would work here (at least as an adjective).
Answer
The OED has an entry for ungodlily. There are no examples more recent than 1860, but the ones provided are as follows:
