Morphology

fierily = fiery (transparent) = fiery + ly

Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'fiery', so the meaning 'in a fiery manner' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Fierily comes from the adjective fiery, which comes from the simple word fire meaning 'flame' or 'strong feeling'. So, fierily, made from fiery plus -ly, means 'in a fiery way', acting with strong passion or heat.
