tragically

/ˈtɹædʒɪkɫi/ adv

In a tragic manner.

Word Origin From Greek 'tragos' (goat) and 'aoide' (song) — tragedy literally means 'goat song.' Scholars think it may refer to a goat being sacrificed or a goat as a prize in early Greek drama. So tragically means in a tragic manner, rooted in this ancient ritual. The word tragic comes from that, and tragically is the adverb.
