Morphology

The adverb is formed by the regular adjectival-to-adverbial suffix '-ly' attached to 'conventional', a common and productive process.
Etymology
The word conventionally comes from Latin parts con- 'together' and venire 'to come', and from convention, a 'coming together' or 'agreement'. So, because people 'come together' and agree on the usual way of doing things, conventionally means doing something in the 'usual' or 'accepted' way.
