Regrettably (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alas

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">regrettably</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('alas' is said before regrettable news)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for alas that I've seen before include "By bad luck" , "Proper, respectable" , "What a shame!" , "Antipodean island state" , "Sad expression" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, the Newsday, the Wall Street Journal, The Independent, The New York Times, The Sun, The Irish Times, the Universal, the LA Times and The Guardian.
