Morphology

modularly = modular (transparent) = modular + ly

The adverbial form 'modularly' is directly derived from the adjective 'modular' with the addition of the suffix '-ly'.

Etymology

Modularly comes from the English word module, which comes from Latin modulus meaning 'small measure', so a module is a small, separate part. That's why doing something modularly means building it from parts you can join, move, or change on their own.
