解説 Definition
驚異的な程度に、並外れて。通常をはるかに超える様子を表す副詞
Phenomenally means to an extremely great or impressive degree. It is used to describe something that happens or is done much more strongly, successfully, or noticeably than usual. It often adds emphasis in formal or informal English.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず phenomenal（驚異的な）を先に押さえ、-ly が付くと「驚異的に」と副詞化すると覚える。強さの感覚は very < extremely < phenomenally くらいで、単なる「とても」では弱い場面に出やすい。phenomenally successful / well / fast のように、成功・好調さ・速さが予想を大きく超える文脈が定番。phenomenon（現象）とつづりが近いので、名詞 phenomenon、形容詞 phenomenal、副詞 phenomenally の3点セットで並べて覚えると混同しにくい。
Start with the family: phenomenon, phenomenal, phenomenally. The ending `-ly` turns the adjective into an adverb, so think "phenomenal" first, then add "how?" = phenomenally. It often appears in strong phrases like `phenomenally successful` or `phenomenally well`, stronger than just `very`.

phenomenally の語源・成り立ち Etymology
「phenomenally」はギリシャ語 phainesthai「現れる」にさかのぼる phenomenon に、形容詞化の -al と副詞化の -ly が付いた語です。もとは「目に見えて現れるほど」という感覚で、そこから「驚異的に」の意味になりました。関連語は phenomenon、phase です。
Phenomenally comes from phenomenal plus the adverb ending -ly. Phenomenal goes back to phenomenon, from Greek phainesthai, meaning "to appear" or "to come into view"; a related English word is phase. The idea began as something clearly appearing to the senses, and later grew into the stronger sense of something striking or extraordinary.
