momentously

/moʊˈmɛntəsli/ adv

In a momentous manner.

Word Origin From Latin momentum, from movere 'to move' — a moment was originally a movement or a weight that moves a scale. Momentously means 'in a way of great importance, weighty.' The root movere gives us move, motion, emotion (a moving out of feeling), and commotion (moving together, disturbance). So a momentous event is one that moves the world.
