Morphology
knowledgeably = knowledgeable (transparent) = knowledge + able + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'knowledgeable', so the meaning 'in a knowledgeable way' is directly derived.
Etymology
The word knowledgeably comes from knowledge ('what you know') plus the ending -able ('able to') and -ly (which makes it an adverb). So to act knowledgeably is to do something 'with real knowledge' or 'in a way that shows you understand'.
