Morphology
thoughtfully = thoughtful (transparent) = thought + ful + ly
The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'thoughtful', which itself is transparently 'thought' + '-ful'.
Etymology
Thoughtfully comes from the noun thought (from the verb think) plus the endings -ful meaning 'full of' and -ly to make an adverb. So, thoughtfully literally means 'full of thought' and is used when someone acts with care and attention.
