insanely

/ɪnˈseɪnli/ adv

To a great degree; very much.

Word Origin From Latin 'in-' (not) and 'sanus' (healthy, sound) — so insane is not sound of mind. The adverb 'insanely' (with -ly) means in an insane manner. The same root gives us sanity, sanitary (healthful), sanitize, and sanitarium (a health place). The PIE *seh₁- root also gives 'safe' and 'sound'. So insanely means acting in a way that is not mentally sound.
