Morphology

appealingly = appealing (transparent) = appeal + ing + ly

Formed from 'appealing' (attractive) + '-ly', so the adverbial meaning is directly derived and obvious to learners.

Etymology

Appealingly comes from the verb appeal, which comes from the Latin appellare meaning 'to call to'. So to act appealingly is like 'calling' to someone's interest or feelings, which is why it means in an attractive or pleasant way.
