Morphology
unaffectedly = unaffected (transparent) = un + affect + ed + ly
Formed by adding '-ly' to 'unaffected' (not emotionally affected), so 'in an unemotional/calm manner' follows directly.
Etymology
The word unaffectedly is made of un- 'not', affected from affect which also means 'feeling' or 'emotion', and -ly 'in a way'. So to behave unaffectedly is to show 'no feeling' and stay calm, not moved by what happens.
