Etymology: "Impassionedly" is simply the adverb of "impassioned" with the common suffix "-ly" added to the end, turning an adjective describing a person or speech full of feeling into a description of how something is done. The adjective "impassioned" is itself built from "passion" with the prefix "im-" and the suffix "-ed," so the adverb carries three layers of formation on top of a word that originally meant "suffering." "Passion" comes from Latin "passio," a noun from "pati," meaning "to suffer" or "to endure," which is why the older sense of passion was closer to enduring pain than to strong enthusiasm.

Synonyms: fervently, passionately, ardently
