enchantingly

/ɪnˈt͡ʃæntɪŋli/ adv

In an enchanting manner

Word Origin Enchant comes from Latin 'incantare' 'to sing upon' — literally to cast a spell by singing. The root 'cant-' is from 'canere' 'to sing,' which also gives us chant, incantation (singing into), recant (sing back, take back), and accent (song added to). So enchantingly means 'in a way that bewitches through song-like charm.' The PIE root *kan- is the same as in cantor and canticle.
