exorbitantly

/ɪɡˈzɔːbɪtəntliː/ adv

In an exorbitant manner, excessively.

Word Origin Exorbitantly comes from Latin 'ex-' (out of, beyond) and 'orbis' (circle, track) — literally 'out of orbit,' deviating from the normal path. The idea: something exorbitant has gone way off the usual track, especially in price. The breakdown ex+orbit+ant+ly shows how it builds: ex- 'out', orbit 'track', -ant 'being in a state', -ly 'in a manner'. So an exorbitant cost is one that's left the orbit of reason. Related words: orbit, orbital, orbiter.
