Morphology

egregiously = egregious (semi-transparent) = egregious + ly

The morphological relation is a standard adjective + '-ly' adverb formation, which is form-transparent.

Etymology

Egregiously once kept the older Latin sense of egregius and could mean 'remarkably good' or 'outstanding', like someone who 'stands out from the flock'. This positive use is now rare, which is why the word usually means something very bad today.
