Etymology
Exquisitely comes from Latin parts ex- ('out') and quaerere ('to seek'), so it originally meant 'searched out' or carefully chosen. The same root appears in words like quest and inquire, which are about searching. So, when something is done exquisitely it is made with great care and is very delicate or beautiful.
