I'm all but certain that 'gregiously' is a typo.

Still, it is an interesting one.  EX + GREX, out of + herd, yields
both 'egregious' in English and 'egregio' in Italian;  and they have
inverted connotations, bad in  English and good in Italian.

The prospects for 'gregious[ly]', herdy, in English are not, I would
guess, good.  We already have 'gregarious[ly]'.
