This frame covers 格外 + 形容词 / 动词. 格外 means "especially", "exceptionally", or "particularly". It takes an adjective, or a verb that can show degree, and pushes it beyond the usual level. The quality or the action stands out from what is normal. In 格外, the character 格 means a frame. The whole word suggests something outside that frame., English-speaker trap: 格外 implies a comparison with the norm, not just intensity.
