joyfully

/ˈdʒɔɪfəɫi/ adv

In a joyful manner; joyously.

Word Origin From Latin 'gaudium' (joy) via Old French 'joie.' The -ful and -ly suffixes make it 'full of joy.' The same root gives us 'enjoy' (to take joy in), 'rejoice' (to joy again), and 'joyous.' The PIE root *gau- also gives 'gaudy' (originally joyful, then showy).
