Morphology

gushingly = gushing (transparent) = gush + ing + ly

Derived by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the clearly related adjective 'gushing'.

Etymology

Gushingly comes from the verb gush, which means 'to flow out suddenly' like water from a broken pipe, and the ending -ly turns it into how something is done. So to speak gushingly is to speak like an overflowing stream—full of sudden, unrestrained praise.
