ashamedly

/əˈʃeɪmdli/ adv

with shame

Word Origin Shame comes from Old English scamu 'disgrace, modesty,' from PIE *skem- 'to cover' — shame is the feeling that makes you want to cover yourself. Ashamed is the past participle with a- (intensive prefix), so ashamedly means doing something in a state of shame. Related: shameful, shameless, and the compound shamefaced (originally 'shamefast' meaning 'held by shame').
