Etymology
Brimmingly comes from the simple word brim, which means the 'edge' or top of a cup, and brimming meant 'full to the top' or 'overflowing', while the ending -ly turns it into 'in a way'. So to do something brimmingly is to do it as if you are full or overflowing with feeling, like smiling with pride or joy.
