Morphology
convincingly = convincing (transparent) = convince + ing + ly
Formed by adding the regular adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'convincing'; the meaning 'in a convincing way' is direct and predictable.
Etymology
Convincingly comes from convince, which breaks into con- 'with' and vincere 'to win'. So to convince someone is like 'winning' them over, and to speak convincingly means you make your idea feel like a clear 'victory' in their mind.
