Morphology

indissolubly = indissoluble (semi-transparent) = in + dissolve + ible + ly

Adding '-ly' to the adjective 'indissoluble' straightforwardly forms an adverb meaning 'in an indissoluble way'.

Etymology

Indissolubly is made from in- 'not' and the same root as dissolve, which means 'to break apart'. So something described as indissolubly joined is 'not able to be broken apart' and cannot be separated or undone.
