Morphology
attractively = attractive (transparent) = attract + ive + ly
The adverb is regularly formed from the adjective 'attractive' with '-ly', so the meaning is directly recoverable.
Etymology
Attractively comes from attract, which has the root tract meaning 'pull', just like in tractor. The ending -ly makes it 'in a ... way', so attractively means 'in a way that pulls attention', or in a pleasing, charming way.
