infamously

/ˈɪnfəməsli/ adv

In an infamous manner.

Word Origin From Latin fama 'reputation, rumor'. Infamous literally means 'not well-spoken of' — the in- prefix negates the fame. The same root gives us fame, famous, defame (speak ill of), and even fable (a spoken story). The PIE root *bha- 'to speak' connects to confess (speak together) and professor (one who speaks forth). So infamously is about being spoken of badly.
