Morphology

plenteously = plenteous (semi-transparent) = plenty + ous + ly

The adverb is a regular -ly derivative of 'plenteous', but the adjective form is less common and spelling differences from 'plenty'/'plentiful' may confuse learners.

Etymology

Plenteously starts with plenty, which comes from the old word plenus meaning 'full', and the endings -ous and -ly turn it into a word that describes action. So plenteously means doing something in a 'full' or 'abundant' way.
