Morphology

praiseworthily = praiseworthy (transparent) = praise + worthy + ly

Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'praiseworthy', producing a manner adverb directly derived from the adjective.

Etymology

Praiseworthily comes from praise ('approval or good words'), worthy ('deserving' or 'having worth'), and the ending -ly that turns an adjective into a manner. So praiseworthily means 'in a way that deserves praise', which is why we use it to say someone did something admirably.
