Etymology

The word "outrageously" derives from the noun "outrage," which entered English in the 13th century from Old French "outrage" (meaning "excess, insult, violence"), itself from Latin "ultra" (beyond) + the suffix "-aticum." Over time, "outrage" evolved to signify extreme behavior or shockingly offensive acts. The suffix "-ous" forms adjectives (e.g., "dangerous"), and "-ly" converts adjectives into adverbs. Thus, "outrageously" literally means "in a manner that goes beyond reasonable limits."
