Morphology
autonomously = autonomous (transparent) = autonomous + ly
The adverb is a regular -ly formation from the adjective 'autonomous', so the meaning 'in an independent way' is directly derived.
Etymology
Autonomously comes from the Greek parts auto- 'self' and -nomos 'rule'. So to act autonomously is to act 'by yourself' or under your own rules, not controlled by others, like automatic, where auto- also means 'self'.
