Etymology

The adverb 'worriedly' is derived from the adjective 'worried,' which has been in use since the 1600s. The word 'worried' itself comes from the past participle of the verb 'worry,' which originally meant 'to strangle' or 'to kill by biting and shaking the throat.' Over time, the meaning of 'worry' shifted to include the sense of anxiety or unease that we associate with the word today.
