It is often used when someone deals with a difficult situation very well and in a way that others respect.

admirably の語源・成り立ち Etymology
admirably は admirable + -ly で、admire はラテン語 ad-「〜へ」+ mirari「驚いて見る」に由来します。miracle や mirror も mir- 系で、「目を向けてしまう」感覚があるので、admirably は「感嘆するほど見事に」を表します。
"Admirably" comes from "admirable" plus "-ly." The base word goes back to Latin "mirari," meaning "to wonder at," with the sense of looking at something with surprise or respect. From that feeling of wonder, the word came to mean doing something in a way that deserves admiration.
