colossally

/kəˈɫɑsəˌɫi/ adv

In a colossal manner, or to a colossal extent.

Word Origin Colossally comes from colossal, from Greek kolossos 'giant statue' — like the Colossus of Rhodes. So colossally means on a gigantic scale. The word colossus itself became a term for anything huge. The suffix -ally makes it an adverb: 'in a colossal manner'.
