blissfully

/ˈbɫɪsfəɫi/ adv

In a blissful, happy or joyful manner.

Word Origin From Proto-Germanic 'blīþiz' meaning 'joyous, gentle' — the same root as 'blithe' (happy). 'Bliss' is the noun form, and -ful (full of) makes it 'full of bliss'. Then -ly turns it into an adverb: in a blissful manner. The root also gives us 'blithely' (in a carefree way). The PIE *bhlēi- root is also in 'bleat' (the sound of a happy sheep?), but more clearly, bliss is a gentle joy. So blissfully means full of gentle happiness.
