thunderously

/ˈθəndɝəsli/ adv

In a thunderous manner, very loudly.

Word Origin Thunder comes from Proto-Germanic *þunraz, from a PIE root meaning 'to resound.' Thunderously is 'in a thunder-like manner,' full of loud, rumbling sound. The -ous suffix means 'full of,' so thunderous is 'full of thunder.' The same root gives us thunderstorm, thunderbolt, thunderclap — all dramatic. The -ly makes it an adverb.

adv In a thunderous manner, very loudly.
