wearily

In fatigued fashion

Wearily is an adverb describing actions done with fatigue, exhaustion, or a lack of energy.

Someone who speaks wearily sounds tired and possibly discouraged.

She wearily climbed the stairs after her double shift.

The word can suggest physical tiredness but often carries overtones of emotional or mental depletion—a weariness born from repetition, frustration, or resignation rather than simple lack of sleep.
