Morphology

pristinely = pristine (transparent) = pristine + ly

The adverb is a straightforward, productive formation from the adjective 'pristine' with the suffix '-ly', so learners who know 'pristine' can infer the adverb.

Etymology

Pristinely comes from Latin pristinus, which means 'former' or 'original' and is like the English word prior ('earlier'). So, to do something pristinely is to keep it in its original, untouched state.
