Morphology
respectively = respective (semi-transparent) = respect + ive + ly
Forming the adverb from the adjective 'respective' with the productive suffix '-ly' is a regular, transparent derivation.
Etymology
Respectively comes from the word respect, made of re- 'back' and spec- 'to look', so it originally meant 'to look back' or 'regard'. That's why respectively is used to mean 'with regard to each' or 'in the order given', matching items one by one.
