sinfully

the word 'sinfully' is built upon the old english noun 'synn', which denotes an act against divine law. the addition of the adjectival suffix '-ful' creates 'sinful', describing a state or character full of sin. finally, the adverbial suffix '-ly' modifies this adjective to form 'sinfully', describing the manner of an action. its informal, intensified meaning, as in 'sinfully rich', is a metaphorical extension where the 'wrongdoing' is playfully framed as an excessive indulgence.
