In a way that shows great enthusiasm, eagerness, or strong happy emotion.
From 'excited,' derived from Latin 'excitare' (to rouse, stir up), where 'ex-' means 'out' and 'citare' means 'to move.' The adverbial form adds '-ly' to describe the manner of action.
When you're excited, your brain releases dopamine and adrenaline, which is why excited people often move faster, talk louder, and gesture more dramatically—it's your nervous system physically responding to the emotion!
