terribly
Deinos marks an extreme condition or manner, seen in severe suffering and fierce opposition.
The attested uses mark intensity in two settings: severe suffering in Matthew 8:6 and fierce opposition in Luke 11:53. The same adverbial form occurs in both clauses, but the limited evidence does not establish a finer shared nuance beyond an extreme degree.
