Morphology
transparently = transparent (transparent) = transparent + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'transparent'; the physical meaning 'allowing light to pass' is directly derived.
Etymology
Transparently comes from Latin parts trans- 'through' and parere 'to appear', so it originally meant 'to appear through'. So, when something is transparent, light and shapes can 'show through' it and you can see what is behind.
