disaster「災害・大惨事」→ disastrous「ひどい結果を招く」→ disastrously「大失敗して」と語族でつなげて覚えます。badly は単に「下手に・悪く」でも使えますが、disastrously は失敗の規模が大きく、計画や判断が取り返しのつかない結果になる感じです。fail disastrously, go disastrously wrong, backfire disastrously など、失敗を表す動詞とよく結びつきます。「悲惨なことに」という別義より、ここでは結果としての失敗度に注目します。
Connect the word family: disaster, then disastrous, then disastrously. This helps you remember the idea of a result so bad that it feels like a disaster. Unlike badly, disastrously suggests a much bigger failure, often with damage or confusion. It is common in phrases like fail disastrously, go disastrously wrong, and backfire disastrously.

disastrously の語源・成り立ち Etymology
disastrously は disaster + -ous + -ly で、disaster はイタリア語 disastro を経て、astro『星』を含む語にさかのぼります。astral や asteroid も同根で、もとは『凶星の下にある』という発想から、『悲惨に』の意味になりました。
Disastrously comes from disastrous, based on disaster. Disaster came through Italian disastro, which contains astro, meaning "star." It originally reflected the belief that a bad event happened under an unlucky star, and later lost the astrology sense and came to mean something ruinous or very harmful. Related words include astral and asteroid.
