Morphology
intravenously = intravenous (transparent) = intra + ven + ous + ly
Formation from the adjective 'intravenous' by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' is regular and transparent.
Etymology
The word intravenously comes from the parts intra- ('within') and vein ('blood vessel'). So, to give medicine intravenously is to put it directly into a vein, which helps it work quickly.
