Morphology
inadvertently = inadvertent (semi-transparent) = in + advertent + ly
Formed by the regular adverbial suffix '-ly' from the adjective 'inadvertent', a predictable morphological process.
Etymology
Inadvertently comes from in- meaning 'not' and advertent from a word meaning 'to turn your mind to' or 'notice'. So, to do something inadvertently is to do it 'not noticing' or 'without meaning to'.
