Morphology

succinctly = succinct (transparent) = succinct + ly

Standard adjective-to-adverb derivation with the productive suffix '-ly'; the adverbial meaning is directly predictable from 'succinct'.

Etymology

Succinctly comes from Latin parts sub- 'under' and cingere 'to gird', and it originally meant 'girded up' — picture tightening a belt so clothes sit close to the body. That's why succinctly now means saying something in a 'tight', short way.
