Morphology
invisibly = invisible (transparent) = in + vis + ible + ly
The adverb is straightforwardly formed from the adjective 'invisible' with the regular adverbial suffix '-ly'.
Etymology
The word invisibly is built from in- 'not' and visible 'able to be seen', a root you also find in vision. So, something done invisibly is done 'without being seen'.
