pleasingly

/ˈpɫizɪŋɫi/ adv

In a pleasing manner; agreeably; favourably.

Word Origin Pleasingly traces back to Latin placere 'to please, be acceptable.' The root originally meant 'to be flat, calm' — think of a calm sea — and that sense of smooth satisfaction is still there. Related words like complacent (too pleased with oneself) and implacable (unable to be pleased) show the range. The PIE root *plāk- also gives us placid.

The flowers were arranged pleasingly in the vase, creating a beautiful centerpiece.
