adverbdefiningly (comparative more definingly, superlative most definingly)
comparative more definingly · superlative most definingly
- In a way that defines something.
Let the Children Die is just as naked, fraught with self-doubt ("Nobody with a Notepad"), scorn for lowest-common-denominator peers (the blazing "High School Cool") and, most definingly, the pain of suddenly finding yourself an adult orphan ("Father," the wrenching "Mr. Daydream").
