Morphology
burningly = burning (transparent) = burn + ing + ly
Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'burning', so the meaning 'in a burning/intense way' is directly derived.
Etymology
The word burningly comes from the simple verb burn, which means 'to be on fire' or feel a strong heat. The ending -ing makes it 'full of' that feeling and -ly turns it into a word that describes how something is done, so doing something burningly is doing it 'in a very strong or intense way'.
