greatly
In a great degree, maxime: summe (in a very high degree): valde (PROP., powerfully, then strongly, very much; e.g., to be greatly mistaken, valde errare): sane quam (particularly, truly; e.g., to be greatly delighted, gaudere): vehementer (PROP. violently, then greatly; e.g., dolere, gaudere; also, less frequently, indicating a high degree, as Cic., Off., 2, 18, 64, vehementer utile est [greatly useful]; and Fam., 13, 32, extr., erit mihi vehementissime gratum; and Cic., Acad. 2, 32, 103, vehementer errare eos [are greatly mistaken], qui dicunt, etc.): graviter (PROP., heavily, then greatly or violently; e.g., iratus, greatly offended): probe (regularly, sadly; e.g., to deceive anybody greatly, aliquem probe decipere; to be greatly mistaken, probe errare, comedy): egregie: eximie (uncommonly; ☞ but egregie falli or errare, for “to be greatly mistaken,” is without any ancient authority, the correct expressions for which are valde or vehementer errare; procul or longe errare; tota errare via; probe or diligenter errare, comedy): longe (by far; e.g., to excel greatly, longe superare, or praestare, or antecellere): multum (e.g., superare), and, with verbs implying comparison, multo (e.g., malle, anteire, praestare): greatly different, longe diversus. Also by “per” joined to the verb; e.g., I am greatly pleased with anything, mihi perplacet or mihi perquam placet; mihi valde placet: I am greatly delighted, pergaudeo or perquam gaudeo: I feel greatly obliged to you, satis benigne; recte (in an answer); valde amo (in the epistolary style: e.g., I am greatly obliged or indebted to you for what you promised respecting the mortgage, de mancipiis quod polliceris, valde te amo, Cic., Quint., Fr., 3, 9, 4): greatly astonished, stupens; obstupefactus; admiratus: I am greatly astonished at anything, admiror aliquid [Vid: also, VERY].
Nobly, generously, Vid: GREATNESS, magnitudo (general term PROP. and figuratively): amplitudo (considerable circumference, size, extent; also figuratively = importance of anything, and authority or influence of anybody): proceritas (greatness acquired by growth or gradual augmentation; ☞ adjectives in GREAT): claritas (celebrity): The highest degree of human greatness, fastigium summum; to be raised to it, in summum fastigium emergere et attolli (but not in summum fastigium humanae magnitudinis extolli, which is spurious): greatness of name, magnitudo or amplitudo, or claritas nominis: greatness of mind, amplitudo animi; ingenium magnum, or acre, or praestans (great understanding or genius): greatness of soul or mind, animi magnitudo: animus magnus (☞ granditas animi and animus grandis are not Latin), or animi altitudo (Cic., Fam., 4, 13, 7; Liv., 4, 6, extr.; but used in a different sense in Cic., Off., 1, 25, 88, Beier).
