Morphology
indubitably = indubitable (semi-transparent) = in + dubit + able + ly
The adverb is a regular -ly derivation from 'indubitable', but the root form 'dubit' is not identical to the common word 'doubt', which can obscure the relation for many learners.
Etymology
Indubitably comes from Latin parts in- 'not' and dubitare 'to doubt'. You can see the same root in the English words doubt and dubious, so indubitably means 'not able to be doubted', or simply 'certainly'.
