Morphology

levelly = level (transparent) = level + ly

The adverb 'levelly' is transparently derived from the adjective 'level' with the suffix '-ly' indicating manner.

Etymology

Levelly is formed from level + -ly, where level means 'flat' or 'the same height', just like a table or a line that is even. That's why to do something levelly is to make or keep it even and flat all the way across.
