Morphology
wholeheartedly = wholehearted (transparent) = whole + heart + ed + ly
The adverb is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ly' to the clearly compositional adjective 'wholehearted' (whole + heart + -ed).
Etymology
The word wholeheartedly is made from whole ('complete') and heart ('feelings'), so it paints a simple image of giving your entire heart to something. That's why to do something wholeheartedly is to do it with full, honest support and no holding back.
