exceptionally

/ɪkˈsɛpʃənəɫi/, /ɪkˈsɛpʃnəɫi/ adv B2 ✓

To an unusual, remarkable or exceptional degree.

Word Origin Exception comes from Latin ex- 'out' and capere 'to take' — literally something 'taken out' from the norm. So exceptionally means 'in a way that stands out'. The root capere is incredibly productive: accept (take to), concept (take together), perceive (take through), receive (take back). The breakdown ex+cept+ion+al+ly shows the layers.
