incredibly
To astonishing degree
Incredibly means to an extreme or remarkable degree: The movie was incredibly boring.
The word has drifted far from its literal sense of "in a way that defies belief"—most uses are simply emphatic, synonymous with very or extremely.
Occasionally it retains its original force: Incredibly, he survived the crash.
