To do something gravely means to do it in a solemn, serious way. When someone gives you bad news, they often say it gravely.
If you ask about a sick relative and your dad gravely shakes his head, you'll know that the relative isn't feeling better. Anything you do or say gravely conveys a sense of solemnity. Another way to use this word is to mean “to an alarming degree,” like a person who is gravely ill or a gravely mistaken answer to a test question. Gravely is from the adjective grave and its Latin root gravis, “heavy.”
