Morphology

fervidly = fervid (transparent) = fervid + ly

The word 'fervidly' is transparently derived from 'fervid' by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly'.

Etymology

Fervidly comes from the Latin word fervere, which means 'to boil' or 'be hot', and it is the same root as fervor and fervent. Think of someone 'boiling' with feeling — that's why fervidly means acting with strong feeling or excitement.
