Morphology
rollingly = rolling (transparent) = roll + ing + ly
Clearly formed from 'rolling' (movement) + '-ly' and denotes manner of rolling or undulating movement, a direct and predictable derivation.
Etymology
Rollingly comes from the verb roll ('to move in a smooth, turning way') and the adverb -ly, just like in rolling hills or a roller. So rollingly describes movement, sound, or speech that flows in a smooth, wave-like or curving way.
