[ˈbɪɡli], (Adverb)

Phrases:

Origin:
late Middle English (meaning ‘with great force’): from big + -ly. Rare from the late 19th century until 2016, it was revived as a result of its association with President Donald Trump, whose adverbial use of big league in speech (to mean 'by a considerable amount') was widely misinterpreted as ‘bigly’
