profusely

/pɹəfˈjusɫi/ adv

In great quantity or abundance; in a profuse manner.

Word Origin Profusely comes from Latin profusus 'poured forth, lavish,' from pro- 'forth' + fundere 'to pour.' So profuse literally means 'poured out abundantly.' The adverb profusely means 'in a profuse manner.' The root fundere 'to pour' gives us fuse, fusion, diffuse (pour apart), infuse (pour in), and transfuse (pour across). A great image of overflowing.
