achingly

/ˈeɪkɪŋɫi/ adv

So as to cause aching, especially heartache.

Word Origin Ache comes from a Proto-Germanic word for 'pain,' and achingly means 'in a way that causes or expresses pain.' The root is related to edge (sharpness) and acute (sharp, pointed) — pain as a sharp sensation. The PIE root *h₂eḱ- meant 'sharp, pointed.' So achingly carries that sharp, piercing quality.
