unbelievably
To astonishing degree
Unbelievably intensifies what follows, suggesting something exceeds normal bounds: unbelievably talented, unbelievably rude.
The literal sense—in a manner that cannot be believed—still appears: He claimed, unbelievably, that he'd never received the letter.
But more often the word simply means extremely or surprisingly: The test was unbelievably easy.
