adverb ek-seh-see-bah-MEN-teh Rare

Usage Note

Excesivamente is formed from excesivo + -mente and means to an excessive or immoderate degree: excesivamente caro (excessively expensive). Like all Spanish adverbs in -mente, it is invariable and placed after the adjective or verb it modifies. When two such adverbs appear in a series, only the second takes -mente: excesiva y innecesariamente (excessively and unnecessarily).

Examples

"El precio me parece excesivamente alto."

The price seems excessively high to me.
