Morphology
resoundingly = resounding (transparent) = resound + ing + ly
Formed by adjectival 'resounding' (resound + -ing) with the productive adverbial suffix '-ly', so meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word resoundingly comes from re- ('again') and sound ('noise'), so imagine a loud noise that echoes and fills a room. When something happens resoundingly it is heard very clearly and strongly, like a loud echo after a big win or a strong rejection.
