Morphology

outstandingly = outstanding (transparent) = outstanding + ly

Regular adverb formation by adding '-ly' to the adjective 'outstanding', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word outstandingly comes from out- meaning 'outside' and stand meaning 'to stand', so it originally meant 'to stand out' from the crowd. So, to do something outstandingly is to do it in a way that 'stands out', meaning much better or more impressive than the rest.
