capitally

In splendid fashion

Capitally means in a capital or excellent manner, though it sounds dated or British: That went capitally well.

The word also relates to capital punishment—a crime punishable capitally is one that can result in execution.

Both senses derive from capital's meanings of "chief" or "head."
