Morphology

throbbingly = throbbing (semi-transparent) = throb + ing + ly

Formed from 'throbbing' + '-ly', but the sense is a metaphorical extension to strong feeling or intensity rather than a literal physical pulse.

Etymology

Throbbingly comes from the same root throb, which brings to mind a strong heartbeat; a helpful way to remember this sense is to imagine music or a city that 'beats' with life, so throbbingly means full of strong feeling or activity.
