infernally

/ˌɪnˈfɝnəɫli/ adv

In an infernal manner.

Word Origin From Latin inferus 'lower, below'. Infernal originally meant 'of the lower regions' — the underworld, hell. So infernally means in a hellish manner. The same root gives us inferior (lower in quality) and infrastructure (the underlying structure). The PIE root *ndher- means 'under', so it's all about being down below.
