Morphology

soggily = soggy (semi-transparent) = soggy + ly

The adverb is formed from 'soggy' + '-ly', but the sense 'dull, lifeless' is a figurative extension of the adjective rather than the literal 'wet' meaning.

Etymology

Soggily comes from soggy, which comes from the old word sog meaning 'to soak' and is like the verb soak. When things are soaked they can become limp and slow, so to do something soggily is to do it in a dull, weak way without much energy.
