Morphology
smackingly = smacking (semi-transparent) = smack + ing + ly
Formally 'smacking' = 'smack' + '-ing' is a regular, transparent formation.
Etymology
Smackingly can also mean 'very noticeable' because smack also gives the idea of a strong hit or strong taste that leaves a clear impression, so calling something smackingly good or modern means it strikes you as very striking or extreme.
