concernedly

/kənˈsɝndli/ adv

In a concerned manner; worriedly.

Word Origin Concernedly comes from 'concerned,' which traces back to Latin cernere 'to sift, separate.' Originally, concern meant to sift together, to mix up — so when you're concerned, your thoughts are sifted together in worry. The same root gives us discern (sift apart), certain (sifted, decided), secret (sifted aside), and discrete (separated).
