Reasperingly

Reasperingly is an adverb that describes the manner in which something is done with a sense of renewed or increased asperity. Asperity itself refers to sharpness, harshness, or roughness, whether in tone, manner, or texture. Therefore, to do something reasperingly means to do it with a heightened level of this characteristic.

For instance, a speaker might reasperingly deliver a reprimand, indicating that their criticism is not only harsh but also carries a new or intensified edge compared to previous instances. Similarly, a material might be described as having a reasperingly rough texture, suggesting that its roughness has become more pronounced or noticeable. The term implies a progression from a previous state of being sharp or harsh to a more potent or obvious one. It is not a commonly used word and might be encountered in more literary or specialized contexts. The etymology suggests a combination of the prefix "re-" indicating repetition or increase, and "asper," meaning rough or harsh.
