Morphology

palatably = palatable (transparent) = palat + able + ly

Formed by a regular adverbial suffix '-ly' from the adjective 'palatable', so the relation is clear.

Etymology

Palatably comes from palate, the roof of your mouth, so the word is closely tied to taste. With the ending -able meaning 'able to be', palatably means 'in a way that is pleasant to the taste' and also 'in a way that is acceptable or pleasing'.
