| Comments: | I think there's a meaning for this word that is missing... something more like "furiously", but not in the sense of being angry... rather the sense of doing something as quickly/earnestly/vigorously/enthusiastically as possible. I've seen it used that way, and this is also reflected in the example sentence for this word: 警官がやってくるのを見ると彼は猛烈に走り出した。 When he saw a policeman coming, he began to run like anything. The subject wasn't running violently, vehemently, or ragefully, which are the current definitions for 猛烈. |
