Morphology
breathtakingly = breathtaking (transparent) = breath + taking + ly
Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the transparent adjective 'breathtaking', producing an adverb with the expected meaning.
Etymology
The word breathtakingly comes from breathtaking plus the ending -ly. A breathtaking thing 'takes your breath'—it is so beautiful or shocking you almost stop breathing, so breathtakingly means 'in a very impressive way'.
