shamefacedly
In abashed manner
Shamefacedly means in a manner showing embarrassment or guilt—with downcast eyes or reddened cheeks: He shamefacedly admitted he'd forgotten her birthday.
The word suggests visible discomfort at having done something wrong or foolish.
Despite appearances, the word doesn't come from "shame-faced" but from an older term meaning "held fast by shame."
