Morphology
disgustingly = disgusting (transparent) = disgust + ing + ly
Formed from the adjective 'disgusting' plus the productive adverbial suffix '-ly'; the meaning follows regular adjectival-to-adverb derivation.
Etymology
The word disgustingly comes from the part dis- 'not' and the root gust, from Latin gustare 'to taste'. It once meant 'to lose the taste' or 'lose appetite', and that's why disgustingly describes something that makes you feel strong dislike or feel sick.
