Morphology

dazzlingly = dazzling (transparent) = dazzle + ing + ly

The adverb is formed regularly from the adjective 'dazzling' with '-ly', and the adjective itself transparently comes from 'dazzle' + '-ing'.

Etymology

Dazzlingly comes from the verb dazzle, which means 'to blind or stun' and is like the common word daze. So, something described as dazzlingly bright, beautiful, or skillful is so impressive that it 'stuns' you and makes a strong impression.
