Surface Forms

rosily positive

Morphology

rosily = rosy (semi-transparent) = rosy + ly

The adverb is formed from the figurative sense of 'rosy' meaning 'optimistic'; the figurative shift makes the relation less directly predictable for some learners.

Etymology

Rosily can also mean 'in a hopeful or positive way' because it comes from rosy, and the pink of the rose is an image people use for good or happy views. So, to speak rosily is to describe the future in a bright, positive way.
