Morphology
stimulatingly = stimulating (transparent) = stimulate + ing + ly
The adverb is formed by the regular addition of '-ly' to the adjective 'stimulating', producing the predictable meaning 'in a stimulating way'.
Etymology
The word stimulatingly comes from an old Latin word meaning 'to poke' or 'to prick', like a small push that wakes you up. It has the same root as stimulate and stimulant (think coffee), so to act stimulatingly is to make people more interested, excited, or alert.
