cannibalistically

adverbkanɪbəˈlɪstɪk(ə)liˌkænəbəˈlɪstɪk(ə)li

The ban on feeding cows cannibalistically, i.e., parts of other ruminants, went into effect because the practice is the major conduit for infecting healthy cattle with the disease.
If, as the post-modern theorists have told us, there are no masterpieces left to be made, then the only remaining option is to become culture vultures, cannibalistically gnawing away at what came before.

Origin

Mid 16th century: from Spanish Canibales (plural), variant (recorded by Columbus) of Caribes, the name of a West Indian people reputed to eat humans (see Carib).

The explorer Christopher Columbus brought back the word cannibal to Europe. On landing in the West Indies he encountered the warlike Caribs, and gained the impression they were cannibals. His interpretation of their name was Canibales, which entered English in a translated account of his voyage written in 1553. The Caribs also gave their name to the Caribbean sea and region.
