in a magnificent, wonderful, or splendid way; with great beauty or triumph.
From 'glorious' (meaning full of glory) plus the adverbial suffix '-ly.' 'Glorious' comes from Latin 'gloriosus,' which derives from 'gloria' meaning fame or honor.
The word 'glory' originally meant public praise and reputation, so 'gloriously' literally means 'in a way that gets you praised'—which is why we describe amazing sunsets and victories with this word!
