Morphology

pricelessly = priceless (semi-transparent) = price + less + ly

Morphologically regular (-less + -ly) but the adjective 'priceless' here has a figurative sense 'extremely amusing' that is not directly derivable from 'price' + '-less'.

Etymology

Pricelessly can also mean 'in a very funny or surprising way' because priceless was used for things so amusing you could not put a price on them. The -ly makes it tell how someone acts, so pricelessly means acting in a way that makes people laugh a lot.
