Morphology
abidingly = abiding + abiding (transparent) = abide + ing + ly
The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'abiding' (itself 'abide' + '-ing'), so the meaning 'in a lasting way' follows straightforwardly.
Etymology
The word abidingly comes from the verb abide, which means 'to stay' or 'to remain', plus the ending -ly that turns it into an adverb. So to act abidingly is to do something in a way that 'stays' or lasts for a long time.
