mercy（怜悯）+fully：因怜悯而免于不幸，感叹“幸好、谢天谢地”。
语域：neutral 常见场景：commenting on a fortunate outcome、describing an act done with compassion 作句子副词时通常用于口语和书面语，表示‘幸好；幸运的是’；作方式副词时也多见于描述宽厚、仁慈的行为。整体属于中性场合，没有明显的正式或非正式色彩。
这些词都以 -fully 结尾，词尾读音都是 /fəli/，与 mercifully /ˈmɜːrsɪfəli/ 的末尾读音完全一致。但各词的重音元音不同，所以整词并不与 mercifully 押韵。注意 -fully 中的 u 不发音；同时要警惕形近词 mercilessly /ˈmɜːrsɪləsli/，它的意思和读音都不同。
