Morphology
compellingly = compelling (transparent) = compel + ling + ly
The adverb 'compellingly' is transparently formed from the adjective 'compelling' by adding the suffix '-ly'.
Etymology
Compellingly comes from compel, built from parts com- 'together' and pel- 'push', the same root you see in propel 'push forward'. So to speak or write compellingly is to 'push' an idea toward people in a strong, attractive way that makes them pay attention or be convinced.
