core核心畫面
組成thrilling + -ly. The ending -ly turns an adjective into an adverb — slow → slowly, quiet → quietly, thrilling → thrillingly. 'Thrilling' itself comes from the verb 'thrill', which long ago meant to pierce or make a hole through. The excitement sense grew from that: a feeling sharp enough to go right through you.
