massively

/ˈmæsɪvɫi/ adv

In a massive manner, in a way that appears large, heavy or imposing.

Word Origin From Latin massa 'lump, dough'—the idea of something kneaded together into a big, solid block. That's why massively means on a huge scale, as if you're dealing with a giant lump of something. The same root gives us amass (to gather into a mass) and biomass (living mass), and the PIE root *mag- 'to knead' connects to the physical act of shaping dough.

adv In a massive manner, in a way that appears large, heavy or imposing.

The castle walls were massively constructed, towering over the surrounding landscape.
