romantically

/ɹoʊˈmæntɪkəɫi/, /ɹoʊˈmæntɪkɫi/ adv

In a romantic way.

Word Origin Romantically comes from 'romantic,' which traces back to Latin 'Romanus' (Roman). In the Middle Ages, 'romance' referred to stories written in the vernacular (Romanic languages) rather than Latin, often about chivalry and love. So romantic love is literally 'love like in those Romanic tales.' The -ally makes it an adverb. Related words include romance, romanticism, and romanticize.
