repentantly

/ɹɪˈpɛntəntli/ adv

In a repentant manner.

Word Origin Repentantly comes from repentant, from Latin poenitere 'to cause regret' with re- 'again'. The idea is feeling regret again. The same root gives us penitentiary (a place for regret) and penitential. The PIE root *kʷey- meant 'to pay, atone', so repentantly is 'in a manner of paying for one's actions again'.
