In literature, "utterly" functions as a powerful intensifier that conveys complete totality or an extreme state, modifying descriptions and emotions to leave little doubt about their severity. Authors use it to accentuate physical exhaustion or ruin, as seen when a character is described as "utterly exhausted" ([1]) or "utterly ruined" ([2]), but it also enriches abstract qualities like confusion or isolation—for instance, when a character feels "utterly at a loss" ([3]) or metaphorically "utterly alone" ([4]). Moreover, "utterly" is employed to underscore contradictions or to dramatize the collapse of ideals and institutions, such as in statements about ideas being "utterly useless" ([5]) or actions "utterly wrong" ([6]). This adverb thus serves as a linguistic tool that not only magnifies the intended effect of the accompanying adjective but also deepens the reader's understanding of the narrative tone and emotional landscape ([7], [8], [9]).
