Morphology

magnificently = magnificent (transparent) = magnific + ly

The adverb is transparently derived from the adjective 'magnificent' using the standard '-ly' suffix.

Etymology

Magnificently comes from Latin parts magnus 'great' and facere 'to make', so it originally meant 'to make great'. Like in magnify, this shows that to do something magnificently is to do it in a very 'great' or impressive way.
