- 1極其嚴重地；令人痛心地（語氣很重，不是「有點慘」）
Grievously tells you that something is not a small hurt. It means in a very serious way, the kind that brings deep pain or real suffering. A person can be grievously in a crash — not a scratch, but the kind that changes a life. A person can also be grievously wronged: someone they trusted has done them a heavy injustice. You will hear it in news, in court, and in books more than in everyday chat at a night market. It is a grave, rather old-fashioned word, and it is too big for a bad test score or a missed bus. Though actually, people do stretch it a little: grievously mistaken means badly wrong, not in bodily pain. Even then the feeling is the same — this is heavy, and it matters. It is the adverb from grievous, so it tells you how something happens or how true it is, not what the thing is called.
組成From Middle English grevously; grievous (very serious, causing deep hurt) + -ly (makes an adverb).
