[Middle English, from Old English weg; see wegh- in Indo-European roots.]Usage Note: Way has long been an intensifying adverb meaning "to a great degree," as in way over budget. This usage is both acceptable and common but has an informal ring. Way is also used as a general intensifier, as in way cool and way depressing. This usage remains a hallmark of casual speech and is not appropriate for formal contexts. · In American English ways is often used as an equivalent of way in phrases such as a long ways to go. This usage is considered nonstandard by most editors, though it appears occasionally in less formal texts.Thesaurus| Adv. | 1.out of the way - extraordinary; unusual; "such erratic behavior was out of the way for him" | | 2.out of the way - improper; amiss; | | 3.out of the way - in a remote location or at a distance from the usual route; "the restaurant is top-notch, but a little out of the way" | | 4.out of the way - murdered; "the mob boss wanted his rival out of the way" | | 5.out of the way - dealt with; disposed of; "I'm so relieved that my midterm is out of the way" | | 6.out of the way - so as not to obstruct or hinder; "put that box out of the way so that no one trips on it" |
