Morphology

inspiringly = inspiring (transparent) = inspire + ing + ly

Formed regularly by adding -ly to the adjective 'inspiring' (itself 'inspire' + -ing), so the adverbial meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Inspiringly comes from the verb inspire, built from in- and Latin spirare which means 'to breathe'. Think of it as 'breathing life' or energy into someone, so to act inspiringly is to do something that gives others courage or hope.
