Morphology
suspiciously = suspicious (transparent) = suspicious + ly
The adverb 'suspiciously' is clearly derived from the adjective 'suspicious' by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly'.
Etymology
Suspiciously comes from old Latin parts sub- 'under' and specere 'to look', and the 'to look' part is the same idea you see in inspect. So, to look suspiciously is to watch someone with doubt or distrust.
