mesmerizingly
In transfixing fashion
In a manner that captures and holds attention completely, as if by hypnotic spell.
The word derives from Franz Mesmer, an 18th-century physician who believed in animal magnetism.
Something mesmerizingly beautiful or strange transfixes the viewer: The aurora borealis shimmered mesmerizingly across the sky.
