Morphology

endogenously = endogenous (semi-transparent) = endo + gen + ous + ly

Formation of an adverb by adding the productive suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'endogenous' is a standard and transparent derivation.

Etymology

Endogenously comes from endo- meaning 'inside' and gen- meaning 'to produce', the same root you see in generate and gene. So, something that happens endogenously comes from inside a body or system, not from outside.
