Morphology
contrastingly = contrasting (transparent) = contrast + ing + ly
The adverb is directly formed by adding -ly to the adjectival form 'contrasting', so the meaning 'in a contrasting way' is derivable from the base.
Etymology
The word contrastingly comes from contrast, whose part contra- means 'against' and is like the English word 'against'. When two things 'stand against' each other they show a clear difference, so contrastingly means 'in a way that shows a clear difference' between them.
