Etymology
The word admirably comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and mirari 'to wonder', so it originally meant 'to look with wonder'. You can see the same root in miracle, a wonderful event, and that helps explain why doing something admirably is done in a way that makes people feel wonder and respect.
