Syntaxiom

tiredly

/ˈtaɪɝdli/ adv

In a tired manner.

Word Origin From Old English teorian 'to fail, cease, become weary' — so tiredly means 'in a weary manner.' The root goes back to Proto-Germanic *teurjan 'to tire, exhaust,' and the PIE root *deu- meant 'to fail, be wanting.' Related words include tiresome (causing weariness), tireless (never weary), and tiredness. The idea: when you're tired, you're 'failing' in energy.
