Morphology

infinitely = infinite (transparent) = in + finite + ly

The adverb is formed regularly from the adjective 'infinite' with '-ly', and the meaning 'without limits' is directly preserved.

Etymology

The word infinitely comes from the parts in- ('not') and finite ('end' or 'limit'), the same idea you see in finite and finish. So when something is infinitely large or patient, it is like it has 'no end' or 'no limits'.
