smashingly

/ˈsmæʃɪŋli/ adv

In a smashing way.

Word Origin Smash likely comes from mash with an s- intensifier, from Proto-Germanic *maiskon 'to mix, knead'. Smashingly adds -ing and -ly to form an adverb meaning 'in a smashing manner' — often used informally to mean 'excellently' or 'strikingly'. The same root gives us mash and masher.
