haggardly

/ˈhæɡə(ɹ)dli/ adv

In a haggard manner.

Word Origin Haggard comes from Old French hagard, used for a wild, untamed falcon — one that was caught in the wild, not raised in captivity. The root may be from Proto-Germanic *hagjō 'hedge, enclosure', so a haggard falcon is one from beyond the hedge, wild. Over time, it came to describe a person's wild, exhausted appearance. Haggardly means in a gaunt, wild-looking manner. The breakdown haggard+ly shows: wild + in a manner. So a haggard look is literally the look of a wild bird.
