Productive '-ly' adverb formation from 'lush' with meaning 'in a lush manner'; directly inferable from the adjective.

Etymology

Lushly comes from the word lush, meaning 'rich' and full of life, plus the adverb -ly. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine a garden so green and thick it looks almost like a treat — that's why lushly means growing or looking in a rich, healthy, and attractive way.
