deplorably

/dᵻplˈɔɹəbli/ adv

in a deplorable manner

Word Origin Deplorably comes from deplore, from Latin de- 'completely' and plorare 'to weep' — literally 'to weep over thoroughly.' The -able makes it 'able to be deplored,' and -ly turns it into an adverb. So a deplorably bad situation is one that makes you want to cry. The same plorare root gives us implore (to beg with tears) and explore (originally to cry out at a discovery).
