Morphology
self-evidently = self-evident (transparent) = self + evident + ly
The adverb is a straightforward derivation by adding '-ly' to the adjective 'self-evident'.
Etymology
Self-evidently is made of self- meaning 'by itself' and evident meaning 'clear', the same idea you see in the word evidence. So if something is self-evidently true, it is 'clear by itself' and does not need proof.
