Syntaxiom

stunningly

/ˈstənɪŋɫi/ adv

So as to stun or amaze.

Word Origin Stun comes from Latin ex- 'out' and tonare 'to thunder' — literally 'thunder out,' as in being struck by a thunderbolt and left dazed. Stunningly means 'in a way that leaves you thunderstruck.' The same root tonare gives us thunder, astonish (to strike with thunder), and detonate (to thunder down).
