/ˈθretnɪŋli//ˈθretnɪŋli/The word "threateningly" has its roots in Old English and Middle English. The adjective "threatning" originally meant "summoning or commanding in a threatening manner" and was derived from the Old English words "þreat" meaning "threat" and "-ing" which formed a present participle. Over time, the spelling evolved to "threateningly", which is now used as an adverb to describe something that is done or said in a threatening manner. In modern English, "threateningly" is often used to describe someone or something that appears menacing or intimidating. For example, "The dog was threateningly close to the child", or "He spoke to her threateningly, making her feel uneasy". The word has a rich history, dating back over a thousand years, and continues to be used in everyday language today.
