Morphology
indispensably = indispensable (semi-transparent) = in + dispens + able + ly
The adverb is regularly formed from the adjective 'indispensable' with '-ly' and keeps the same meaning.
Etymology
The word indispensably comes from in- meaning 'not' and dispense meaning 'to give out', so it originally meant 'not able to be given out'. That's why something called indispensable is absolutely necessary and cannot be done without.
