Morphology
straightforwardly = straightforward (transparent) = straight + forward + ly
The adverb is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ly' to the clear adjective 'straightforward', preserving the adjective's direct and uncomplicated meaning.
Etymology
The word straightforwardly comes from the simple words straight ('not turning' or 'direct') and forward ('toward the front' and by extension 'honest'), with the adverb -ly. So to speak straightforwardly is to speak 'directly' and 'without hiding', like going straight ahead without turning.
