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