The word "impressively" is derived from the verb "impress", which comes from the Latin word "impressus", meaning "pressed upon or imprinted". The Latin word is derived from the past participle of the verb "imprimere", which means "to press into or onto". Over time, "impress" evolved in English to mean "to make a strong and lasting impact or effect on someone". The suffix "-ly" is then added to form the adverb "impressively", indicating that something is done or performed in an impressive manner.
