enjoyably

/ˌɛnˈdʒɔɪəbɫi/ adv

Word Origin Enjoy is from Old French 'enjoir', from 'en-' 'in' + 'joir' 'rejoice,' from Latin 'gaudium' 'joy.' So to enjoy is to take joy in something. Enjoyably means 'in a manner that gives joy.' The root joy also gives us joyful, joyous, and even joystick (a stick that brings joy in gaming). The PIE root *gau- is about rejoicing.
