In an exalted manner; in a way that shows or expresses elevation of mood, status, or thought.
Formed from exalted (adjective) + -ly (adverbial suffix). The adverb form allows the quality of exaltation to modify verbs and describe how actions are performed.
Medieval monks used similar patterns to describe divine elevation—adding -ly to religious adjectives turned them into adverbs describing how saints or angels supposedly behaved, giving us a linguistic echo of spiritual aspiration!
