exceedingly

/ɪkˈsidɪŋɫi/ adv B1

extremely

Word Origin From Latin 'ex-' 'out' and 'cedere' 'to go' — so 'exceed' literally means 'to go out beyond'. 'Exceedingly' is the adverb form: going beyond the usual. The same root 'cedere' gives us 'proceed' (go forward), 'recede' (go back), 'concede' (go together, yield), and 'secede' (go apart). The PIE root *ked- meant 'to go, yield'.
