vô cùng

/ɪnˈkredəbli//ɪnˈkredəbli/

"Incredibly" comes from the word "incredible," which itself is a combination of the prefix "in-" (meaning "not") and the word "credible" (meaning "believable"). The word "credible" originates from the Latin word "credere," meaning "to believe." Therefore, "incredible" originally meant "not believable." Over time, the word has taken on a more hyperbolic meaning, often used to express a strong degree of something. "Incredibly" reflects this shift, emphasizing an extreme level of something.
