In a manner that is desired or wished for; as something that was wanted or sought after.
Formed from 'desired' (past tense of 'desire') plus the adverbial suffix '-ly.' This rare and somewhat archaic adverb emphasizes that something happened as intended or wanted.
This is a wonderfully rare word—you might use it to say 'The plan worked out desiredly' (as we had hoped), though modern English speakers would usually say 'as desired' instead. It's the kind of word that shows up in Victorian novels!
