Morphology
illuminatingly = illuminating (transparent) = illuminate + ing + ly
The adverb is a straightforward -ly derivation from the adjective 'illuminating' meaning 'enlightening'.
Etymology
Illuminatingly comes from the same idea of 'light' (Latin lumen) and the verb illuminate 'to light up', like the word luminous. A helpful way to remember this sense is to think of an idea being 'lit up': if someone explains something illuminatingly, they make it clear and easy to understand.
