Morphology

awesomely = awesome (transparent) = awe + some + ly

The adverb is transparently formed from the adjective 'awesome' by adding the suffix '-ly'.

Etymology

Awesomely comes from awe ('a mix of wonder and fear') and the part -some ('causing'), so awesome once meant 'causing awe' and later 'very impressive'. -ly turns it into an adverb, so awesomely means 'in a very impressive way'.
