remarkably
UK: rɪˈmɑːkəbli | US: rɪˈmɑːrkəbli
adv. in a way that is unusual or surprising and deserves attention
adv. to a noteworthy or extraordinary degree
The word "remarkably" stems from the verb "remark" (from French remarquer, "to note or observe"), combined with the suffix "-able" (Latin -abilis, indicating capability). The adverbial suffix "-ly" (Old English -lice) transforms it into an adverb. Originally tied to the act of noticing, its meaning evolved to emphasize something worthy of attention due to its exceptional nature.
She performed remarkably well in the competition.
The landscape was remarkably similar to his childhood home.
His recovery progressed remarkably fast after the surgery.
The team worked remarkably hard to meet the deadline.
The artifact was preserved remarkably intact for centuries.
