calamitously

/kəˈɫæmətəsli/ adv

In a calamitous manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'calamitas' 'disaster, loss.' The origin is uncertain, but it might be related to 'calamus' (reed, stalk) — perhaps from crop failure, when stalks are damaged. Calamitously means in a disastrous manner. The same root gives us calamity. So a calamity might originally have been a ruined harvest.
