Morphology

smuttily = smutty (transparent) = smut + y + ly

The adverb is a straightforward derivation from the adjective 'smutty' by adding the productive '-ly' suffix to indicate manner.

Etymology

The word smuttily comes from smut, an old word for 'dirt' or 'soot', and the ending -ly, which makes an adverb. So to act smuttily is to act in a 'dirty' way, meaning indecent or sexually rude.
