cavernously
Like vast caves
Cavernously describes something done in the manner of a cavern—vast, hollow, echoing.
A room may yawn cavernously, a voice may boom cavernously through an empty hall.
The word emphasizes depth and resonance: He laughed cavernously, the sound bouncing off the stone walls.
