Amorously

/ˈæmərəsli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that shows love, desire, or sexual attraction.

Etymology

From amorously derived from Old French amorous, from Latin amor (love). The -ly suffix converts the adjective into an adverb indicating manner.

Kelly Says

The word 'amorously' shows how a single suffix can transform meaning—add '-ly' and suddenly you're describing *how* someone acts rather than *what* they are, which is the magic trick English uses thousands of times daily.
