Morphology
intentionally = intentional (transparent) = intention + ly
The adverb is formed by a standard and immediately recognizable conversion of the adjective 'intentional' with the productive suffix '-ly'.
Etymology
The word intentionally comes from the verb intend, whose parts in- mean 'toward' and tend means 'to stretch' or 'to aim', so to intend is to have a clear aim. So, to do something intentionally is to do it 'on purpose', with a plan.
