bigly
On large scale
Bigly means in a big way—grandly, impressively, or to a great extent.
The word is archaic and was rarely encountered until Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, when listeners debated whether he was saying "bigly" or "big league." Both interpretations fit his speech patterns: We're going to win bigly.
The controversy revived a word that had been dormant for centuries.
