reproachfully

/ɹiˈpɹoʊtʃfəlli/ adv

In a reproachful manner.

Word Origin Reproach comes from Latin 're-' (back) and 'prope' (near) — literally to bring something back close, to throw it in someone's face again. That's why reproachfully means doing something with blame or disapproval. The same 'prope' root gives us approach (come near) and proximity.
