excitedly

/ɪkˈsaɪtədɫi/ adv B1 ✓

In an excited manner.

Word Origin From Latin ex- 'out' and citare 'to call, rouse' — so excite is literally 'to call out,' to stir up. Excitedly is the adverb from excited, meaning 'in an excited manner.' The root citare gives us incite (to call into), recite (to call back, repeat), and even resuscitate (to call back from death). The PIE root *keie- meant 'to set in motion,' which you can feel in the energy of excitement.
