Etymology of LICKERISHLY

The word "lickerishly" is derived from the Middle English term "lecherousli", which can be further traced back to the Old English word "læċerlīce", meaning "lustfully" or "luxuriously". The term "lickerish" originally meant "greedy" or "gluttonous", and over time, it developed the additional sense of being "lecherous" or "desirous" in a sensual or sexual manner. The suffix "-ly" is added to form the adverbial form "lickerishly", which means "in a lickerish or lecherous manner".
