Morphology
uproariously = uproarious (transparent) = uproar + ious + ly
The adverb is a regular -ly derivation from the adjective 'uproarious', which itself is directly related to 'uproar'.
Etymology
Uproariously comes from the simpler word uproar, made of up and roar, where 'roar' means 'a very loud noise' like an animal's shout. The ending -ly turns it into an adverb that shows 'how' something happens, so uproariously means doing something with loud, joyful noise, like uncontrollable laughter.
