Morphology
staringly = staring (semi-transparent) = stare + ing + ly
The sense 'staringly obvious' is a metaphorical extension from 'staring' meaning 'conspicuous', so the link is clear but involves figurative shift.
Etymology
Staringly also has the meaning 'very obvious' because you can think of something that 'stares' at you as impossible to miss, so staringly describes something that stands out and is hard to ignore.
