Morphology
transportingly = transporting (semi-transparent) = transport + ing + ly
The adverb is regularly formed from the adjective 'transporting' + -ly, but the emotive sense of 'transporting' (rather than physical 'transport') is literary and may be unfamiliar to many learners.
Etymology
The word transportingly comes from the word transport, which combines trans- 'across' and portare 'to carry'. So, to do something transportingly is to 'carry' someone 'across' into a strong feeling or delight.
