Breathe differently without bra, truly in a light and delicate way (10)

I believe the answer is:

ethereally

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'breathe differently without bra truly in a light' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'delicate way' is the wordplay.
'delicate' becomes 'ethereal' (similar in meaning).
'way' becomes 'ly' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ethereal'+'ly'='ETHEREALLY'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ethereally that I've seen before include "airily" , "in heavenly style" , "Spiritually" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
