impassively

/ˌɪmˈpæsɪvɫi/ adv

In an impassive manner.

Word Origin Impassive comes from in- 'not' and passive 'capable of feeling or suffering' — literally 'not feeling.' Impassively means without emotion. Passive comes from Latin pati 'to suffer, endure,' which also gives us passion (strong feeling, originally suffering), patient (one who endures), and compassion (suffering with). So impassive means not showing suffering or emotion.
