For the benefit of our American friends, "roundly" comes from Middle English (roundly, roundely, or roundliche), formed by adding the adverb suffix -ly to the adjective round. It has been in use as an adverb since at least the 15th century.
In modern English (especially from the 19th century onward), "roundly" became a common intensifier in phrases like 'roundly condemned', 'roundly defeated' or 'roundly disliked' - the latter conveying that the negative opinion is unanimous, emphatic, or shared by almost everyone - not just mild or partial dislike.
Thus, the polite, quintessentially English phrase 'roundly disliked' is a classic example of British understatement - essentially a euphamism for 'fucking hate the cunt'.

Slovenes cooked severely here.
Remarkable watching the U.S. media reporting that "nobody" died in Venezuela when civilians were in fact killed. They mean no Americans died and they genuinely do not give a shit about anyone else.

Same with soup or a chili cooked on a Sunday. Saving money and eating healthier.
