reprehensibly

/ɹᵻpɹihˈɛnsᵻbli/ adv

In a reprehensible manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'reprehendere' — 're-' (back) + 'prehendere' (to seize). So to reprehend is to seize back, to hold back, hence to find fault. 'Reprehensible' means able to be blamed, and 'reprehensibly' is the adverb. The root 'prehendere' gives us 'apprehend' (seize toward), 'comprehend' (seize together, understand), 'prehensile' (able to grasp). So reprehensibly means in a blameworthy manner.
