Elatedly: meaning, definitions and examples

The word 'elatedly' derives from the adjective 'elated', which has its origins in the Latin word 'elatus', meaning 'uplifted' or 'raised up'. This Latin term is the past participle of 'efferre', which means 'to carry out'.

Over time, the usage of 'elatedly' has maintained its focus on expressing an active state of joy, often used in contexts where enthusiasm overwhelms someone, such as after receiving good news or achieving a personal goal.
