Morphology

convergently = convergent (transparent) = converge + ent + ly

Adverbial formation from the adjective 'convergent' is regular and preserves the sense of approaching a limit or point, including mathematical contexts.

Etymology

Convergently comes from two Latin parts: con- 'together' and -vergere 'to turn'. So in math or science, when things change convergently they get closer to one single point or value.
