compassionately

/kəmˈpæʃənətˌɫi/ adv

In a compassionate manner.

Word Origin Compassionately comes from compassion, literally 'suffering with' from Latin com- 'together' and pati 'to suffer'. So compassion is feeling someone else's pain alongside them. The root pati gives us patient (one who endures), passion (originally suffering, then strong emotion), and passive (enduring action). Compassionately is acting with that shared suffering.
