Morphology

unbreakably = unbreakable (transparent) = un + break + able + ly

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'unbreakable', giving a predictable adverbial meaning.

Etymology

Unbreakably is made of simple parts: un- meaning 'not', break meaning 'to separate', -able meaning 'can be', and -ly which turns the word into a way of doing something. So, unbreakably means 'in a way that cannot be broken', like saying 'not able to be broken'.
