astoundingly

/əˈstaʊndɪŋɫi/ adv

In an astounding manner; so as to astound, surprise, or amaze.

Word Origin From Latin ex- 'out' and tonare 'to thunder'—literally 'thunderstruck.' When something astounds you, it hits you like a bolt of lightning. That's why astoundingly means shockingly, amazingly. The same root gives us astonish (a variant), stun (to knock senseless), and thunder. You can almost hear the thunderclap.
