Etymology
The word 'enjoyably' is derived from the verb 'enjoy' + the suffix '-ably', which is used to form adverbs indicating in what manner something is done. The root word 'enjoy' comes from the Middle English term 'enjoien', which in turn comes from the Old French 'enjoir', meaning 'to give joy, rejoice'. The suffix '-ably' is from Latin '-abilis', indicating capability or ability. Therefore, 'enjoyably' describes the manner in which something is done with pleasure or satisfaction.
