Morphology
representatively = representative (transparent) = represent + ative + ly
The adverb is formed from 'representative' (in the sense 'typical' or 'serving as an example') by adding -ly, so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word representatively comes from re- 'again' and present 'to show', and from representative meaning 'something that shows what a whole group is like'. So to do something representatively is to do it in a way that 'shows' or stands for the whole group, like a typical example.
