Morphology

elatedly = elated (transparent) = elate + ed + ly

The adverb is formed in the regular way by adding '-ly' to the adjective 'elated', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word elatedly comes from elated, which comes from a Latin root meaning 'to lift up', as in elevate and elevator. So to act elatedly is to feel 'lifted up', very happy and excited.
