sweepingly

/ˈswipɪŋli/ adv

In an encompassing manner.

Word Origin Sweep comes from Old English swāpan 'to sweep, swoop' — the motion of brushing across. Sweepingly means 'in a broad, sweeping manner.' The same root gives us swoop (a sudden sweep), swipe (a sweeping motion), and chimney-sweep. The PIE root *sweip- also gives us swift? Actually swift is from a different root, but sweep, swoop, and swipe are all related.
