Morphology
adjunctively = adjunctive (transparent) = adjunct + ive + ly
The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'adjunctive', a transparently adjectival form of 'adjunct'.
Etymology
The word adjunctively comes from adjunct, formed from ad- ('to') and junct ('join'), the same root you see in junction and the simple verb 'join'. So, to do something adjunctively is to do it in an extra or supporting way; it is 'joined to' the main thing but not the main thing itself.
