Morphology
productively = productive (transparent) = product + ive + ly
This is a regular adverb formed from the adjective 'productive' with '-ly', and 'productive' itself is transparently built from 'product' + '-ive'.
Etymology
Productively comes from the same root as produce and product: pro- meaning 'forward' and ducere meaning 'to lead', giving the sense of 'bringing forward' or 'making'. So, to do something productively is to act in a way that brings good results or makes a lot happen.
