spectacularly

/spɛkˈtækjəɫɝɫi/ adv

In a spectacular manner, extraordinarily, amazingly.

Word Origin Built on Latin specere 'to look' — spectacularly means 'in a way that's worth looking at.' The root spec- is a superstar: it gives us inspect (look into), respect (look back at), and spectator (one who looks). The PIE root *spek- is all about seeing, and you can almost see the crowd staring in awe.
