Morphology
bullishly = bullish (transparent) = bull + ish + ly
The adverb is formed from the adjective 'bullish' (bull + -ish) with the regular adverbial suffix '-ly', and the meaning 'in a forceful, bull-like manner' follows directly.
Etymology
Bullishly comes from bull, the big animal that pushes with its head and horns, so imagine someone charging forward and not giving way. That's why to act bullishly means to be forceful or headstrong.
