Morphology
identifiably = identifiable (transparent) = identify + able + ly
Formed by the regular addition of the adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'identifiable', preserving the adjective's meaning.
Etymology
Identifiably comes from identify, which itself comes from a Latin root idem meaning 'same' plus a part that means 'to make'. This is the same root as identity, so identifiably means 'in a way that can be recognized' or 'able to be identified'.
