sensationally

/sɛnˈseɪʃənəli/ adv

To a sensational extent; amazingly.

Word Origin Sensationally comes from sensation, which is from Latin sentire 'to feel.' The -ation, -al, -ly chain builds the adverb. The root sentire gives us a huge family: sensitive (able to feel), sensible (perceptible), consent (feel together), dissent (feel apart), and sentence (originally a feeling or opinion). So sensationally means in a way that causes a big feeling.
