Morphology
superlatively = superlative (transparent) = superlative + ly
Formed by the regular adverbial suffix '-ly' added to the adjective 'superlative', so the meaning 'in a superlative way' is directly derived.
Etymology
Superlatively starts with super- meaning 'above', the same idea you see in superior or super, and it comes from the idea of being 'above all' or the highest. So to do something superlatively is to do it to the greatest degree, or 'extremely'.
