Usage Note
Prepotentemente derives from prepotente (overbearing, overpowering). It describes something that asserts itself with an unstoppable force, often used figuratively: si è imposto prepotentemente — it has imposed itself forcefully. In everyday speech prepotente as an adjective (meaning 'bossy') is far more common than this adverb.
Examples
"Il suo talento si è imposto prepotentemente."
Natural Translation
His talent asserted itself forcefully.
