lustrously

/ˈɫəstɹəsli/ adv

In a lustrous manner, glossily.

Word Origin From Latin lustrare 'to illuminate, brighten' — so lustrously means with a shining, radiant quality. The same root gives us luster, illustrate (to light up), and illustrious (shining with fame). The PIE root *leu- 'to shine' is also in light and lucid. The -ous suffix means 'full of,' so lustrous is full of shine.

adv In a lustrous manner, glossily.
