Definition
In a manner showing worry, suffering, or severe anxiety.
Etymology
Adverbial form of 'distressed,' which comes from Old French 'distresse' (anguish, hardship). The word trace back to Latin 'districtus' (separated, pulled apart). The '-ly' suffix converts the adjective into an adverb indicating manner.
Kelly Says
It's interesting that distress originally meant something physically constrained or pulled tight—that Latin 'districtus'—so saying someone acts 'distressedly' literally suggests they're tied up in anxiety, a lovely metaphor.
