tremendously

/tɹəˈmɛndəsɫi/, /tɹɪˈmɛndəsɫi/ adv B2 ✓

Greatly; enormously

Word Origin From Latin tremere 'to tremble' — tremendous originally meant 'causing trembling,' something so awe-inspiring or terrifying it makes you shake. Over time, it shifted to mean 'huge, extraordinary.' Tremendously is the adverb: doing something in a way that would make you tremble. The same root gives us tremble, and the PIE *trem- is also in tremor.
