feverishly

/ˈfɛvɝˌɪʃɫi/ adv B1 ✓

With excitement and determination.

Word Origin Feverishly comes from 'feverish', which is from Latin 'febris' meaning 'fever'. The -ish means 'like, somewhat', so feverish is 'like a fever' — hot, restless, agitated. The -ly makes it an adverb. Related words: fever, fevered, feverous. The PIE root *dhegwh- meant 'to burn', so fever is a burning condition. Feverishly means acting with feverish intensity.
