extravagantly

In excessive fashion

Extravagantly means in a lavish, excessive, or unrestrained manner.

Someone who spends extravagantly goes beyond what's reasonable or necessary: They lived extravagantly on borrowed money.

The word can describe emotional excess too—praising extravagantly, gesturing extravagantly.

It carries a whiff of disapproval, suggesting waste or showiness rather than genuine abundance.
