I apologize for the confusion. "–ly" in "fervently" is a bound morpheme.

what is the bound morphine?

In the word "fervently," the bound morpheme is "-ly." A bound morpheme is a grammatical element that cannot stand alone as a separate word and must be attached to another word to convey meaning. In this case, "-ly" is added to the base word "fervent" to form the adverb "fervently."
