expansively
In sweeping manner
Expansively describes doing something in a broad, open, or generous manner.
Someone who speaks expansively elaborates at length, often with enthusiasm: He gestured expansively as he described his plans.
The word can suggest physical openness—arms spread wide—or figurative breadth, as when someone thinks or spends expansively.
