Usage Note
Nervosamente is formed from nervoso (nervous/irritable) + -mente. In Italian, nervoso can mean both 'nervous/anxious' and 'irritable/on edge' — so nervosamente can shade toward 'irritably' depending on context. It is invariable, as all Italian adverbs in -mente are.
Examples
"Aspettava nervosamente il risultato dell'esame."
Natural Translation
She was nervously waiting for the exam result.
