Morphology

limitlessly = limitless (transparent) = limit + less + ly

Formed by adding '-ly' to the common adjective 'limitless' to make an adverb, a standard and directly interpretable derivation.

Etymology

The word limitlessly starts with limit, from the old Latin limes meaning 'boundary'. The parts -less and -ly mean 'without' and 'in this way', so limitlessly means 'in a way without boundaries', which is why it means doing something with no limits or end.
