deliciously

/dɪˈɫɪʃəʃɫi/ adv

In a delicious manner.

Word Origin From Latin deliciae 'delight, pleasure,' rooted in lacere 'to entice.' So something delicious literally 'entices' you. The word shares its origin with delight and delectable — all about being lured by pleasure. The -ous suffix turns it into an adjective, and -ly makes it an adverb.
