Morphology

fluorescently = fluorescent (transparent) = fluorescent + ly

The adverb is a straightforward derivation from the adjective 'fluorescent' with the productive adverbial suffix '-ly'; the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Fluorescently comes from the root fluor, related to the word fluid, which means 'to flow', plus the ending -escent meaning 'becoming'. So it gives the image of light that seems to 'flow' or become bright, which is why fluorescently describes something that glows or looks very bright.
