Morphology

sovereignly = sovereign (semi-transparent) = sovereign + ly

The adverb is formed regularly from 'sovereign', but the sense 'highly effective or decisive' is a metaphoric extension from 'supreme' to 'complete effectiveness', which is not strictly predictable for all learners.

Etymology

Sovereignly also gained a second meaning from the idea of a ruler's complete power: a sovereign cure was seen as completely effective. So, to do something sovereignly can mean to do it in a highly effective, decisive way.
