Morphology
magniloquently = magniloquent (transparent) = magniloquent + ly

Etymology
Magniloquently comes from Latin parts magni- meaning 'great' and loqu- meaning 'to speak'. You can see magni- in magnificent and loqu- in eloquent, so to speak magniloquently is to use 'grand, showy language' to make your speech sound important.
