Morphology
contemporarily = contemporary (transparent) = contemporary + ly
Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'contemporary' (meaning 'occurring at the same time'), so the adverbial meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Contemporarily comes from Latin parts con- 'with' and tempus 'time'. So it literally means 'with the same time', which is why it means happening at the same time as something else.
