Standard adverb formation from the adjective 'convenient' using the productive suffix '-ly', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Conveniently comes from the Latin parts con- 'together' and venire 'to come', so it originally meant things 'coming together' in the right way. Think of it like the same root as venue, a place where people 'come', so when something is conveniently placed it 'comes together' for you and is easy or suitable.
