copiously

In great amounts

Copiously means in large quantities or abundantly.

Someone who sweats copiously is drenched; someone who cries copiously produces a flood of tears.

The word often describes output—writing, bleeding, note-taking: She annotated the manuscript copiously.

It carries a slight formality compared to simply saying "a lot."
