lovably

/lˈʌvəbli/ adv

In a lovable manner.

Word Origin Lovably is built from 'love' + '-able' + '-ly.' 'Love' is from Old English 'lufu,' and the suffix -able comes from Latin -abilis (capable of). So lovable means 'able to be loved,' and lovably is doing something in a way that makes you lovable. The same root gives us 'lovely,' 'beloved,' and 'lovesick.'
