When and where found: I found vividly in the Meier article as well. The sentence it was in was: “In this vividly illustrated book, the members of an extended family...gather for a surprise birthday party at the baby’s house” (2003, p. 246).
What it means: The context in which the word is used certainly aids understanding the meaning. Vividly indicates lively and colorful illustrations in the storybook. Merriam-Webster Dictionary online supports my understanding of vividly, stating that it means “of very strong color” and “having the appearance of life and freshness.”
Level of Familiarity: I am quite familiar with this word. It is fully in my memory of vocabulary knowledge. I have used it in my speech and in writing.
To know it well: Yes, this word is used commonly enough to take more time to fully understand its meaning.
