Morphology
disinterestedly = disinterested (semi-transparent) = dis + interest + ed + ly
Adding -ly to the adjective is a regular adverb-forming step that preserves the meaning closely.
Etymology
Disinterestedly breaks into dis- 'not' and interest 'personal gain'. So to act disinterestedly is to act 'not for your own gain', meaning fairly and without bias.
