abysmally

/əˈbɪzməɫi/ adv

Very; incredibly; profoundly; to an extreme degree; dreadfully.

Word Origin From Greek abyssos 'bottomless' — a- 'without' + byssos 'bottom, depth.' Abysmally means in a way that's as bad as the bottomless pit. The word abyss itself is that unfathomable depth, and abysmal originally meant 'pertaining to the abyss.' The breakdown abysm+al+ly shows the root abysm-.

adv Very; incredibly; profoundly; to an extreme degree; dreadfully.
