Morphology
adverb = verb (semi-transparent) = ad + verb + ad
The relation to 'verb' is clear (an adverb relates to verbs), but the Latin prefix 'ad-' is not a productive, semantically obvious English prefix for learners and the word also modifies adjectives and other adverbs, so the full sense may not be derivable by all learners.
Etymology
Adverb comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and verbum 'word', and it is from the same root as verb. So an adverb is a word that goes 'to' or adds information to a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, which is why it tells how, when, where, or how much something happens.
