Morphology

extraordinarily = extraordinary (transparent) = extra + ordinary + ly

Standard adjective-to-adverb formation with '-ly'; the meaning 'in an extraordinary way' is directly derived from 'extraordinary'.

Etymology

The word extraordinarily comes from extra- 'outside' or 'beyond' and ordinary 'usual'. So to do something extraordinarily is to do it 'beyond the usual', in other words, very or extremely.
