The term 'to a great degree' can be expressed in many ways, such as 'VERY', 'WIDELY', 'MUCH', 'heavily', 'vastly', 'RICHLY', 'QUITE', 'HIGHLY', 'SORELY', 'everso', and 'inspades'. Each of these words has a different connotation, but they all indicate a large amount or intensity. For example, 'VERY' implies a strong degree of something, while 'WIDELY' suggests something that is spread out over a large area. Similarly, 'MUCH' indicates a large quantity, and 'heavily' implies a great weight or burden. 'Vastly' and 'RICHLY' both indicate a great abundance, while 'QUITE' and 'HIGHLY' suggest a high level of something. 'SORELY' and 'everso' both imply a great need or difficulty, and 'inspades' is an archaic term meaning to the utmost degree.
