Morphology
sustainably = sustainable (transparent) = sustain + able + ly
Adding -ly to the adjective 'sustainable' produces a standard adverbial meaning 'in a sustainable way', which is directly predictable.
Etymology
Sustainably comes from the verb sustain, which means 'to hold up' or 'keep going' and is like maintain ('to keep'). So, to do something sustainably is to do it in a way that 'keeps it going' for a long time, not using it up or harming the environment.
