Disastrously means in a very bad way, or with a result that fails. It tells you how something happened, not what kind of thing it was. A plan can go disastrously wrong. Someone can be disastrously late. A talk can go disastrously off-topic. Like disastrous, people sometimes use it with a half-smile for smaller troubles, but the honest centre of the word is still “this ended badly.” It is an everyday adverb in news and in speech; it is not rare or old-fashioned.
