Morphology

enjoyably = enjoyable (transparent) = enjoy + able + ly

Formed by the adjective 'enjoyable' plus the productive adverbial suffix '-ly', so the step to the adverb is straightforward.

Etymology

Enjoyably comes from en- plus joy, where joy means 'great pleasure', and the endings -able and -ly turn it into 'in a way that can be enjoyed', so it means doing something 'with joy' or 'in a pleasant way'.
