exceptionally
To outstanding degree
Exceptionally means to an unusual degree, well beyond the ordinary: an exceptionally talented musician, exceptionally cold weather.
It typically signals praise or emphasis—something standing out from the norm.
Less commonly, it can mean as an exception to the usual rule: Exceptionally, we'll allow late submissions this once.
