enticingly

/ɛnˈtaɪsɪŋli/ adv

In an enticing manner

Word Origin Entice comes from Old French 'enticier', from Latin 'in-' 'in' + 'titio' 'firebrand, torch' — literally 'to set on fire,' to kindle desire. So enticingly means 'in a way that inflames interest or desire.' The image is of a torch lighting a fire within someone. The root 'titio' is rare, but the word is vivid: you can almost see the spark being struck.
