Morphology
libidinously = libidinous (semi-transparent) = libidin + ous + ly
The base word 'libidinous' is not fully transparent for most learners, but the addition of '-ly' to form the adverb is standard.
Etymology
Libidinously comes from the Latin word libido meaning 'desire' or 'lust', and the endings -ous ('full of') and -ly turn it into a word that describes how someone acts. So to act libidinously is to show strong sexual desire.
