Morphology
tempestuously = tempestuous (transparent) = tempest + uous + ly
The adverb is a straightforward '-ly' formation from 'tempestuous', which itself directly derives from 'tempest' (storm), so the storm-related sense is transparently built.
Etymology
Tempestuously comes from tempest, from Latin tempestas meaning 'storm'. So when something moves tempestuously, it is like wind and waves in a real storm, rough, violent and out of control.
