Disturbingly is the adverb: it tells you that something happens in a way that worries or upsets you, or to a degree that should worry you. “Disturbingly quiet.” “Disturbingly similar.” “The test was disturbingly easy for some and impossible for others.” Like , it is a little more at home in writing and careful speech. People often use it to flag a fact that is not just odd but wrong-feeling: too common, too easy, too close to a bad pattern. Though actually, it can also simply mean “in a disturbing manner,” about how someone smiled or how a room looked. The lighter verb sense of disturb (“please don’t disturb me”) does not really carry over here. Disturbingly is almost always the “this is worrying” meaning, not “in a bothersome way.”
組成disturbing + -ly (in a disturbing way).

disturbinglyadv
- 1
In a disturbing manner.
- But this morning was different. Disturbingly, because mysteriously, different. No wheels rumbled, no busses roared, no sound of a car of any kind, in fact, was to be heard; no brakes, no horns, not even the clopping of the few rare horses that still occasionally passed; nor, as there should be at such an hour, the composite tramp of work-bound feet.
- “RIP Harambe” turned into a meme that took a disturbingly long time to go away.
