Standard adverb formation from the adjective 'exceptional' indicating manner or degree.
Etymology
Exceptionally comes from exception, the same root as except, which once meant 'taken out' or 'left out' of the usual group. So something 'exceptional' is 'out of the ordinary' or 'set apart', which is why exceptionally means 'unusually' or 'remarkably'.
