Morphology

readably = readable (transparent) = read + able + ly

Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the clear adjective 'readable', so the meaning 'in a readable way' is directly derived.

Etymology

Readably comes from the simple verb read ('to look at and understand writing') plus the ending -able ('can') and -ly ('in a ... way'). So readably means 'in a way that can be read easily', which is why we use it when text or handwriting is clear and easy to understand.
