Morphology

epically = epic (transparent) = epic + ally

Formed by the regular adverbial suffix '-ally' from the adjective 'epic'; meaning 'in an epic manner' (used informally as an intensifier) is directly derivable.

Etymology

Epically comes from the word epic, which goes back to the Greek epos meaning 'a story' or 'song' about heroes. So to do something epically is to do it like a big hero story — very grand, impressive, or larger than life.
