Etymology
Enchantingly comes from enchant, which comes from the Latin incantare, meaning 'to sing a magic spell', and you can see the same root in chant, a word for a simple song. So to do something enchantingly is to charm people as if by music or magic, making them feel delighted and like they are under a spell.
