Morphology

bendingly = bending (semi-transparent) = bend + ing + ly

The morphological step (adding '-ly' to 'bending') is a straightforward adverb formation.

Etymology

Bendingly comes from the verb bend plus the endings -ing and -ly, and bend can also mean 'to give way' or 'to agree', as when someone 'bends' to a request. So bendingly can mean acting in a willing, compliant way.
