Morphology

enduringly = enduring (transparent) = endure + ing + ly

The adverb is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'enduring', which is itself transparently derived from 'endure' + '-ing'.

Etymology

Enduringly comes from endure, which comes from the old Latin word durare meaning 'to last', and it is the same root as durable and duration. So, to do something enduringly is to do it 'in a way that lasts for a long time'.
