imploringly

/ˌɪmˈpɫɔɹɪŋli/ adv

Beseechingly; in a manner that beseeches or implores.

Word Origin Built from Latin 'plorare' 'to cry out, weep' with the prefix im- (a form of in- 'into, on') — so implore is literally 'to weep upon' someone, to beg with tears. The adverb imploringly captures that desperate, pleading tone. The same root gives us 'explore' (originally 'to cry out' when hunting, then to search) and 'deplore' (to weep down, lament).
