Etymology
The word 'delightedly' is derived from the adjective 'delighted,' which has its roots in the late Middle English period, specifically from the term 'delighten.' This adjective, in turn, comes from the Middle French 'delit,' meaning 'pleasure' or 'delight,' and further from the Latin 'delectare,' which means 'to charm' or 'to please.' Over time, the suffix '-ly' was added to form the adverbial usage, indicating the manner of action. The evolution of 'delightedly' reflects the transition from expressing a state of joy to describing how one performs an action, showcasing the rich linguistic history that emphasizes positive emotions associated with activities.
