Morphology

exultingly = exulting (transparent) = exult + ing + ly

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the participial/adjectival base 'exulting', yielding 'in an exultant manner'.

Etymology

Exultingly comes from Latin ex- ('out') and sultare ('to leap' or 'jump'), so it paints a picture of 'leaping out' with joy. You can see the same 'sult' idea in somersault, and that's why doing something exultingly means showing great happiness or triumph.
