Morphology

sanguinely = sanguine (semi-transparent) = sanguine + ly

The adverbial form is clear, but the literary or archaic use of 'sanguine' as blood-red may not be immediately apparent to all learners.

Etymology

Sanguinely also comes from the Latin sanguis meaning 'blood'. That idea of 'blood' gives a deep red or ruddy image, so sanguinely can mean 'in a blood-red or ruddy way'.
