inaccurately = inaccurate (transparent) = in + accurate + ly
This is a standard adverb formation from the adjective 'inaccurate' with the suffix '-ly'.
Etymology
Inaccurately is made of the prefix in- meaning 'not' and accurate, a word that comes from a root meaning 'done with care'. So to do something inaccurately is to do it 'not carefully', which is why it means 'not correct' or 'not precise'.
