'embarrassedly' originates from the word 'embarrass,' which comes from the French word 'embarrasser,' where 'em-' meant 'in' and 'barras' meant 'obstacle.'

'embarrasser' transformed into the English word 'embarrass,' and eventually became the modern English word 'embarrassedly' through the addition of the adverbial suffix '-ly.'

Initially, it meant 'to hinder or obstruct,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to cause someone to feel awkward or self-conscious.'
