Root Explanation

Pervertedly → It is formed from "pervert" (from Latin "pervertere", meaning to turn away or corrupt) and "-ly" (a suffix meaning in a manner). The word "pervertedly" means in a manner that is corrupt or deviates from what is considered normal or acceptable.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who has 'turned away' ('pervert') from what is normal, and the '-ly' shows how they act. This helps you remember that 'pervertedly' means acting in a corrupt or abnormal way.
