Morphology
conspicuously = conspicuous (transparent) = conspicuous + ly
Forming an adverb with '-ly' from the adjective 'conspicuous' is a regular, predictable change.
Etymology
Conspicuously comes from parts that mean con- 'together' and the root spec 'to see', the same root in words like inspect and spectacle. So, to act conspicuously is to act in a way that is easy to see or that draws attention.
