outrageously

/ˌaʊˈtɹeɪdʒəsɫi/ adv

In an outrageous manner; to an outrageous degree.

Word Origin 'Outrageous' comes from 'outrage', which originally meant 'excess, going beyond limits', from Latin 'ultra' (beyond). So 'outrageously' means in a way that goes beyond all bounds. The root 'ultra' also gives us 'ultraviolet' (beyond violet), 'ultrasonic' (beyond sound), and 'ultramodern'. The breakdown outrage+ous+ly shows the beyondness turned into an adverb.
