Morphology
introspectively = introspective (semi-transparent) = intro + spect + ive + ly
The adverb is a regular formation from 'introspective' with -ly.
Etymology
Introspectively comes from intro- 'inward' and -spect 'to look', the same -spect you see in inspect. So when software checks its own parts and processes, it is 'looking inward', which is why we say it examines itself introspectively.
