thrillingly

/ˈθɹɪɫɪŋli/ adv

In a thrilling manner.

Word Origin Thrill originally meant 'to pierce' — from Old English þyrlian. So thrillingly is literally 'in a piercing manner.' That's why a thrilling experience feels like it pierces through you. The same root appears in nostril: literally 'nose-piercing' (nose + thrill). The -ing and -ly suffixes turn it into an adverb. A thriller is something that pierces you with excitement.
