majestically

/məˈdʒɛstɪkəɫi/, /məˈdʒɛstɪkɫi/ adv

In a majestic manner.

Word Origin Majestically comes from majestic, which traces back to Latin majestas 'greatness, dignity' — from magnus 'great.' The -ic, -al, -ly suffixes stack up to make an adverb. So moving majestically is moving with impressive greatness. The PIE root *meg- 'great' also gives us magnify, magnitude, and even major and mayor (the greater one).

adv In a majestic manner.

The eagle soared majestically above the canyon, its wings outstretched against the sky.
