Word origin

The word 'appetizingly' is derived from the verb 'appetize', which comes from the Old French word 'appetit' meaning 'desire, eagerness, or inclination.' The suffix '-ize' is used to form adverbs from adjectives, giving the meaning 'in a particular manner or way.' Therefore, 'appetizingly' describes something in a way that arouses a desire to eat. The usage of 'appetizingly' can be traced back to the early 19th century, where it became popular in describing food and culinary experiences.
