Morphology

wealthily = wealthy (transparent) = wealth + y + ly

Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'wealthy' (itself 'wealth' + '-y'), so the adverbial meaning is straightforward.

Etymology

Wealthily comes from wealth, which comes from an old English word for 'well-being' and is like the word well, and the ending -ily turns it into 'in a rich way'. So to live wealthily is to live with a lot of money and comfort.
