dejectedly

/dɪˈdʒɛktɪdli/ adv

In a dejected manner, in a dispirited way.

Word Origin From Latin de- 'down' and jacere 'to throw' — dejected means thrown down in spirits, and dejectedly is the adverb. The same root ject (throw) gives us reject (throw back), inject (throw in), project (throw forward), and subject (throw under). It's a great example of how a single root can generate a whole vocabulary of throwing.
