Morphology

livingly = living (transparent) = living + ly

Formed by adding the regular adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'living', so the meaning 'in a lively manner' is directly derived.

Etymology

Livingly comes from living, meaning 'alive' or full of life, plus the ending -ly that makes it an adverb. So to do something livingly is to do it 'as if alive', in a lively, energetic way that brings things to life.
