Morphology

beamingly = beaming (transparent) = beam + ing + ly

The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the clearly derived adjective 'beaming' (beam + -ing), making the meaning directly predictable.

Etymology

Beamingly comes from beam, an old English word meaning 'ray of light', the same idea you see in sunbeam. So, to smile beamingly is to 'shine' with happiness, just like a sunbeam lighting up a room.
