Morphology
supersonically = supersonic (transparent) = super + sonic + ally
Derived from 'supersonic' with the regular adverbial suffix; the figurative sense 'very fast/intense' is an expected extension.
Etymology
Supersonically can also be thought of in a simple way: super- is 'very' (as in superstar) and sonic is 'sound', giving the idea of something beyond the speed of sound. So, used figuratively, supersonically means doing something 'very quickly' or with great intensity.
