Morphology

crunchingly = crunching (semi-transparent) = crunch + ing + ly

The adverb is formed in the same way as the literal sense, but the sense here is a figurative extension ('crunch numbers'), so the connection is understandable but not strictly literal for all learners.

Etymology

Crunchingly also comes from the same word crunch used in the phrase 'crunch the numbers', where crunch means 'work hard to break down numbers or a problem'. So, crunchingly can mean doing careful, intense work or calculation.
