Syntaxiom

welcomingly

/ˈwɛɫkəmɪŋli/ adv

In a welcoming manner.

Word Origin The word 'welcome' is a beautiful Old English compound: 'wil-' from 'will' (desire, pleasure) and 'cuma' from 'come' (arrival). So a welcome is literally a 'pleasure-comer', someone whose coming is wished for. 'Welcomingly' means in a way that expresses that pleasure. The same roots give us 'will', 'willing', and 'come'.

adv In a welcoming manner.

The host smiled welcomingly as she opened the door for her guests.
