hysterically
In frenzied manner
Hysterically means in an uncontrolled, emotionally excessive manner—laughing, crying, or screaming beyond composure: She was sobbing hysterically.
More commonly now, it means extremely funny: The movie was hysterically funny.
The intensifier use has largely overtaken the original sense of emotional breakdown.
