mightily

/ˈmaɪtəɫi/ adv B1

with great strength

Word Origin Mightily comes from might, which goes back to Proto-Germanic mahts 'power, ability,' from PIE *magh- 'to be able.' That same root gives us magic (supernatural power), machine (a device with power), and even magistrate (one with authority). The adjective mighty adds -y, and mightily is the adverb form. So doing something mightily means with great power or effort.
