"Regrettably ..." (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alas

'regrettably' is the definition.
('alas' is said before regrettable information)

This is the entire clue.

(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 Newsday, the Universal, The Irish Times, The Guardian, the USA Today, The Independent, the Wall Street Journal, The Sun, the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
