enthrallingly

/ɛnθɹˈɔlɪŋli/ adv

In an enthralling way.

Word Origin Enthrallingly comes from enthralling, from enthrall, which is en- 'in' + thrall 'slave.' Thrall is from Old Norse þræll 'slave, serf.' So to enthrall someone is to put them into slavery, but metaphorically it means to captivate, to hold spellbound. The same en- prefix gives us enslave, enable, enrich. Enthrallingly means in a captivating manner, like you're being enslaved by fascination.
