Morphology
collectively = collective (transparent) = collect + ive + ly
Standard adjective-to-adverb formation by adding '-ly' to 'collective'; the meaning 'as a group' is directly derived.
Etymology
The word collectively comes from collect, which is made from com- 'together' and legere 'to gather', plus the -ly ending that makes it an adverb. So it literally means doing something 'as a group' or 'together'.
