Morphology

sophisticatedly = sophisticated (transparent) = sophisticate + ed + ly

The adverb is a regular formation from the adjective 'sophisticated' with the productive adverbial suffix '-ly', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word sophisticatedly comes from the root soph- meaning 'wise', a part you can see in philosophy. The verb sophisticate came to mean 'make more complex or refined' and the ending -ly means 'in a ... way', so sophisticatedly means doing something 'in a complex or refined way'.
