lamentably

/læmˈɛntəbli/ adv

Regrettably. In a manner deserving or inspiring lamentation.

Word Origin From Latin lamentum 'wailing, weeping' — so lamentably means 'in a way that causes lamentation.' The root gives us lamentation (the act of wailing) and lamenter (one who laments). The idea: something lamentable is so pitiful it makes you want to weep. The word entered English through French, carrying the sound of sorrow.
