ambitiously

/æmˈbɪʃəsɫi/ adv

In an ambitious manner.

Word Origin Ambitious comes from Latin ambitio 'a going around' — originally, in Roman politics, candidates would 'go around' canvassing for votes. So ambition is literally 'walking around' to get support. The same roots give us ambient (surrounding), ambidextrous (both hands), and preamble (walk before). Ambitiously is doing something with that go-getter, vote-chasing energy.
