Morphology

tirelessly = tireless (transparent) = tire + less + ly

The adverb is formed regularly from the adjective 'tireless' with the productive suffix '-ly', preserving the adjective's meaning.

Etymology

Tirelessly comes from tire meaning 'to grow tired', plus -less meaning 'without' and -ly meaning 'in a way'. So tirelessly means doing something 'without getting tired'.
