Morphology

baroquely = baroque (transparent) = baroque + ly

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'baroque'; meaning ('in the manner of Baroque style') is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

The word baroquely comes from baroque, which itself comes from Portuguese barroco, meaning 'irregular pearl'. So, to do something baroquely is to do it in a richly decorated, dramatic, or over-the-top way, like a room full of gold, lace, and fancy shapes.
