Morphology
voluminously = voluminous (transparent) = voluminous + ly
Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'voluminous', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Voluminously comes from the old Latin word volumen, which meant 'a roll' and later gave English volume, meaning 'size' or 'amount'. So, to do something voluminously is to do it in a large, full, or plentiful way.
