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