Aromatically

/ˌærəˈmætɪkli/ adverb

Definition

In an aromatic manner; with respect to fragrance or the properties of aromas.

Etymology

From 'aromatic' plus the adverb suffix '-ally' (from Latin '-aliter'), creating the adverb form to modify verbs or other adjectives.

Kelly Says

The '-ally' suffix is why adverbs often sound so clunky in English compared to other languages—we add '-ic' then '-ally,' creating 'aromatically,' whereas Spanish just says 'aromáticamente' and German 'aromatisch,' making English adverbs noticeably longer.
