explosively

/ˌɛksˈpɫoʊsɪvɫi/ adv C1 ✓

In an explosive manner.

Word Origin Explode comes from Latin 'explodere', from 'ex-' 'out' + 'plaudere' 'to clap' — originally meant 'to drive off the stage by clapping,' to reject an actor. The meaning shifted to 'burst with a loud noise' in the 17th century. Explosively means 'in a sudden, violent manner.' The root 'plaud-' gives us applaud (clap for), applause, and plausible (worthy of applause, believable). The PIE root *plod- is about striking.
