Beggingly

/ˈbɛɡ.ɪŋ.li/ adverb

Definition

In a begging manner; with the manner or tone of someone asking for charity or a favor earnestly.

Etymology

From 'begging' (present participle of 'beg') + '-ly' (adverb-forming suffix). 'Beg' derives from Old Norse 'beggja,' meaning 'to beg or request.'

Kelly Says

The '-ingly' pattern is powerful—it turns any action verb into a way of doing things. 'Beggingly' captures not just asking, but the emotional tone of desperate asking.
