Morphology
tempestuously = tempestuous (semi-transparent) = tempest + uous + ly
The adverb is formed by adding '-ly' to 'tempestuous', but the sense here is a figurative extension from storminess to strong emotional turbulence, which may not be directly inferable for all learners.
Etymology
Tempestuously comes from tempest, from Latin tempestas meaning 'storm'. So to act tempestuously is to behave like an inner storm, full of wild, strong emotion or sudden activity.
