Morphology

providently = provident (semi-transparent) = provide + ent + ly

The adjective 'provident' straightforwardly takes the adverbial suffix '-ly' to form an adverb of manner.

Etymology

Providently comes from Latin parts pro- 'before' and videre 'to see'. Think of it as 'seeing ahead' — the same root is in provide and provision, so to act providently is to plan and save now to avoid problems later.
