Morphology

effectively = effective (transparent) = effect + ive + ly

A standard adverb formed by adding '-ly' to the adjective 'effective'; meaning corresponds directly to 'in an effective way'.

Etymology

Effectively comes from the Latin efficere 'to make happen', the same root you see in effect and factory. That's why effectively can mean doing something in a way that works and produces the result you want.
