Also means

sensationally

Usage Note

Clamorosamente derives from clamoroso (clamorous, sensational) and is used to describe something done in a strikingly obvious or sensational way: ha fallito clamorosamente ('he failed sensationally'). It appears frequently in sports journalism and political commentary. Unlike the English 'clamorously' (noisily), the Italian word emphasises the spectacular or scandalous nature of an event rather than its loudness.

Examples

"La squadra ha perso clamorosamente in casa."

Natural Translation

The team lost sensationally at home.
