profoundly
To the core
Profoundly means to a deep or intense degree.
It typically modifies states of being or feeling: profoundly grateful, profoundly disturbed, profoundly deaf.
The word carries more weight than deeply or very—something profoundly moving touches you at your core.
The experience profoundly changed how I see the world.
