The word 'victoriously' is built upon the Latin noun victoria, meaning "victory", which itself derives from victor, meaning "conqueror". The core root vic- or vinc- (to conquer, to overcome) is traceable to the Proto-Indo-European root weik-, meaning "to fight, to conquer". The suffix -ous was attached to form the adjective 'victorious', meaning "characterized by or having the qualities of a victor". Finally, the Old English adverbial suffix -ly was added, creating the modern adverb that describes the manner of achieving or celebrating a triumph. Thus, the word's literal construction, "in the manner of one full of victory", perfectly captures its modern meaning of acting in a triumphant way.
