vulnerably

/vˈʌlnɚɹəbli/ adv

In a vulnerable manner.

Word Origin Vulnerable comes from Latin vulnerare 'to wound', from vulnus 'wound'. So vulnerable literally means 'able to be wounded'. Vulnerably is the adverb. The breakdown in+vulner+able makes it clear: invulnerable is 'not woundable'. The same root gives us vulnerary (a remedy for wounds). The PIE root *welə- means 'to tear, wound'.
