Here's why:
* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They tell us *how*, *when*, *where*, *to what extent*, or *why* something happens.
* Resignedly describes the manner in which something is done, often indicating acceptance or submission.
For example:
* "He accepted his fate resignedly." (modifies the verb "accepted")
* "She sighed resignedly." (modifies the verb "sighed")
