Prodigiously is the adverb: in a prodigious way — to a huge or impressive degree that makes people notice. Someone may work prodigiously, grow prodigiously, or be prodigiously gifted. Like the adjective, it belongs more to writing and careful speech than to everyday talk; in conversation people often just say “incredibly” or “so much.” It still carries that extra feeling of “almost too much, in a striking way,” not a flat “very.”
驚人地、極其
組成prodigious + -ly, the usual English adverb ending. From Middle English prodigious, from Latin prōdigiōsus.
