Word origin
The word 'shamefacedly' is derived from the combination of 'shamefaced' and the adverbial suffix '-ly'. 'Shamefaced' dates back to the late 16th century and has its origins in the Middle English word 'shamefast', meaning 'modest' or 'self-conscious'. The addition of the '-ly' suffix transforms 'shamefaced' into an adverb, indicating the manner in which an action is performed with a sense of shame or embarrassment.
