Morphology

cohesively = cohesive (transparent) = cohere + ive + ly

Standard adverbial formation from the adjective 'cohesive' with '-ly'; meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Cohesively comes from parts meaning 'together' (co-) and 'to stick', like in adhesive. So, to act cohesively is to 'stick together' and form a single, united whole.
