Morphology

adaptively = adaptive (transparent) = adapt + ive + ly

The adverb is formed regularly from the adjective 'adaptive' with -ly, and the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word adaptively comes from adapt, which contains ad- meaning 'to' and apt meaning 'fit' or 'suitable', the same root you see in the word apt. So to act adaptively is to change or adjust in a way that 'fits' new conditions.
