Morphology

tastily = tasty (transparent) = tasty + ly

The adverb 'tastily' is transparently derived from the adjective 'tasty' by adding the suffix '-ly', indicating the manner of being tasty.

Etymology

The word tastily comes from taste, which originally meant to 'try' or 'touch' food to check its flavour, and the ending -ly turns it into an adverb. So, tastily means 'in a tasty or pleasant-flavoured way'.
