Regrettably

/rɪˈɡretəbli/ adverb

Definition

Unfortunately; sadly; in a way that causes sorrow or disappointment.

Etymology

From regret + -ably. Regret comes from Old French regretter (to lament), origin disputed but possibly from Germanic re- (again) + some root meaning to cry out.

Kelly Says

Regret is the only emotion with built-in repetition in its name—re-gret means to grieve over something again and again, which perfectly captures what regret actually feels like in your brain.
