Morphology

hyperactively = hyperactive (transparent) = hyper + act + ive + ly

The adverb is formed regularly from the adjective 'hyperactive' by adding '-ly'.

Etymology

Hyperactively starts with the Greek part hyper- which means 'over' or 'too much', and ends with active, from act meaning 'to do' and now meaning 'full of energy'. So hyperactively means doing things in a 'too energetic' or restless way.
