Usage Note
Profundamente derives from the adjective profundo ('deep, profound') with the standard -mente adverb suffix. It collocates naturally with emotional or cognitive verbs: dormir profundamente ('to sleep deeply'), afectar profundamente ('to affect profoundly'). Spanish sometimes prefers a fondo ('thoroughly, in depth') in intellectual contexts.
