Morphology
blowingly = blowing (semi-transparent) = blow + ing + ly
The adverbial sense 'extremely surprising/overwhelming' extends metaphorically from 'blow' (as in 'to blow someone away') and is not an immediately predictable, literal meaning for all learners.
Etymology
Blowingly also has a figurative use. A helpful way to remember this is to think of the idea 'blow you away' from the verb blow, so blowingly can mean 'in an extremely surprising or impressive way' as if something hits you like a strong wind.
