Ridiculously means 'in a ridiculous way': so silly or so unreasonable that you might laugh or throw up your hands. 'He was being ridiculously stubborn.' In everyday talk people also stretch it into a booster, like very or crazily: ridiculously cheap, ridiculously tired, ridiculously good. That stretch is informal and very common; the idea is still 'to a silly degree', even when the speaker is not really calling it stupid. The word is not rude by itself, but the booster can sound casual, even teenage. It is an adverb; the matching adjective is ridiculous.
荒謬地；好笑到不合理。口語也當「誇張地、非常」
組成ridiculous + -ly (turns the adjective into an adverb).
