Uproariously is the adverb form, and it lives in a very small number of phrases. By far the commonest is 'laugh uproariously' — to laugh so loudly and freely that everyone hears you. Close behind is 'uproariously funny', where it works as an meaning 'so funny it makes a whole room laugh out loud'. You may also see the audience or cheer uproariously. Because the word is long and slightly literary, native speakers use it mostly in writing and in reviews. In speech people say 'everyone laughed like crazy' or 'it's absolutely hilarious'. There is one thing worth knowing: 'uproariously funny' is stronger than 'very funny' but is not really about volume any more — a book read alone in silence can be described as uproariously funny. English often does this: a word about noise becomes a word about degree.
哄堂地、放聲地(大笑);uproariously funny=爆笑到不行。
組成uproarious + -ly, the usual ending that turns an adjective into an adverb — and uproarious itself is uproar + -ious. So the chain is uproar → uproarious → uproariously.
