Morphology
imperatively = imperative (semi-transparent) = imperative + ly
Formally derived from 'imperative' + '-ly', but the computing sense is a domain-specific extension that may not be obvious to general learners.
Etymology
Imperatively in computing keeps the same root from Latin imperare, which means 'to command'. Programming imperatively is like giving the computer a list of exact commands to do, step by step, so it changes what it does like following orders.
