Morphology

barkingly = barking (semi-transparent) = barking + ly

Derived by adding '-ly' to the adjective 'barking', but the adverbial sense here depends on an idiomatic use ('barking mad'), so the meaning 'extremely/excessive' is not directly inferable from the verb 'bark' alone.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember barkingly in the sense 'extremely' is the British phrase barking mad, where barking means 'very crazy', so barkingly can be used to mean 'extremely' or 'outrageously'.
