extremely

/ɛkˈstɹimɫi/ adv A2, B1

very

Word Origin Extremely comes from extreme, which goes back to Latin extremus meaning 'outermost, at the end.' The idea is the furthest point, the limit. Related words like extremity and extremism push that boundary further. So extremely means 'to the utmost degree.'
