Morphology

blissfully = blissful (transparent) = bliss + ful + ly

Formed by the regular derivation bliss + -ful -> blissful, then -ly to form an adverb; meaning is predictable from the components.

Etymology

Blissfully comes from bliss, an old English word for 'deep joy', and the ending -fully means 'in a way that is full of'. So, blissfully means 'in a way full of very great happiness', often not noticing any problems.
