Morphology

renewably = renewable (transparent) = renew + able + ly

Formed by adding '-ly' to the adjective 'renewable' (renew + -able), so the adverbial meaning is predictable.

Etymology

Renewably comes from the parts re- meaning 'again' and new meaning 'new', so it means 'in a way that can become new again'. That's why when energy is produced renewably, it comes from sources like wind or sun that nature replaces, so they do not run out.
