utterly
To the core
Utterly is an intensifier that means completely, totally, or absolutely.
It almost always modifies adjectives or verbs with negative or extreme connotations: utterly destroyed, utterly exhausted, utterly ridiculous.
You rarely hear something described as utterly pleasant or utterly nice.
The word emphasizes that something has reached its fullest possible extent, leaving no room for qualification or doubt.
