Morphology

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

Standard adverb formation by adding '-ly' to the familiar adjective 'awesome', making the degree/intensity meaning clear.

Etymology

Awesomely is formed from awesome ('great' or 'very impressive') plus the part -ly that makes adverbs. A helpful way to remember this sense is to think of awesomely as a casual intensifier meaning 'very' or 'extremely', so it simply makes another word stronger.
