comfortlessly

/ˈkəmfɝtləsli/ adv

In a comfortless manner

Word Origin Comfort comes from Latin confortare 'to strengthen much,' from com- 'together' and fortis 'strong.' So comfort originally meant to give strength. Add -less and -ly, and comfortlessly means 'in a manner without strength or solace.' The root fortis also gives us fortify, fortress, and effort.
