Morphology

concomitantly = concomitant (transparent) = concomitant + ly

Formed by the regular adverbial suffix '-ly' from the adjective 'concomitant', so the relation to the base is straightforward.

Etymology

The word concomitantly comes from Latin parts con- ('with') and comit- ('to go with' or 'attend'), the same idea you see in companion and accompany. So concomitantly means doing things 'together' or 'at the same time'.
