Morphology

pronouncedly = pronounced (transparent) = pronounce + ed + ly

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'pronounced', yielding the expected meaning 'in a clearly noticeable way'.

Etymology

The word pronouncedly comes from pronounce, which originally meant to 'say clearly' or 'announce', and the part pro- means 'forth'. So, to do something pronouncedly is to do it in a way that stands out and is easy to notice.
