Morphology

likewise = like (transparent) = like + wise

Meaning 'in the same way' is directly derived from 'like' + the adverbial suffix '-wise', so learners can infer the sense from the base.

Etymology

Likewise comes from like + wise, where wise here means 'manner' or 'way', as in clockwise. So likewise means 'in the same way', showing you do something in the same manner as someone or something else.
