Morphology

blazingly = blazing (transparent) = blaze + ing + ly

The adverb is a regular formation from the adjective 'blazing' by adding '-ly', and the meaning 'in a very bright or intense way' follows directly.

Etymology

The word blazingly comes from blaze, which once meant 'a bright flame' or 'a torch', plus the ending -ly that makes an adverb. So, to do something 'blazingly' is to do it 'like a bright fire', meaning very bright, very strong, or very obvious.
