Morphology
consecutively = consecutive (transparent) = consecutive + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'consecutive'; the meaning 'in succession' is directly derived from 'consecutive'.
Etymology
The word consecutively comes from the parts con- and sequ- from sequi, and sequ- means 'to follow'. You can see the same sequ- in sequence, which is a series of things that follow each other, so to do something consecutively is to do it one after another without a break.
