Morphology
impressively = impressive (transparent) = impress + ive + ly
Formed by the standard conversion of the adjective 'impressive' to an adverb with '-ly'; the adjective itself is transparently derived from 'impress' + '-ive'.
Etymology
Impressively comes from impress, which is made of in- ('in') and press ('to push'). Think of a strong stamp pressed into wax that leaves a clear mark — to impress someone is to 'leave a mark' on their mind, so doing something impressively means doing it in a way that makes people admire you.
