Morphology
comfortably = comfortable (transparent) = comfort + able + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'comfortable', which itself is transparently comfort + -able.
Etymology
Comfortably comes from the word comfort, which originally meant 'to make strong' and is related to words like fortify ('to make strong'). So to live comfortably is to live with enough ease and strength, which is why it means having enough money without worry.
