desirably

/dɪzˈaɪɚɹəbli/ adv

in a manner likely to arouse desire

Word Origin The adverb form of desirable, which comes from desire, ultimately from Latin desiderare 'to long for' (literally 'from the stars'). So doing something desirably means doing it in a way that makes you wish upon a star. The -ly suffix turns the adjective into an adverb, just like in desirably, undesirably, and desirously.
