Morphology
imperishably = imperishable (transparent) = im + perish + able + ly
The adverb is transparently formed by adding '-ly' to the adjective 'imperishable', whose meaning 'not able to perish' is clearly built from 'im-' + 'perish' + '-able'.
Etymology
The word imperishably is made of im- meaning 'not' and perish meaning 'to die or be destroyed', like in perishable food that 'goes bad'. So imperishably means in a way that cannot be destroyed or forgotten.
