Morphology

uncoincidentally = coincidentally (transparent) = un + coincident + al + ly

Formed by adding the negating prefix 'un-' to the adverb 'coincidentally', meaning 'not by coincidence'.

Etymology

Uncoincidentally starts with un- meaning 'not' and uses the familiar word coincidence, which is when two things 'happen together' by chance. So uncoincidentally means something did not happen 'by chance' but because of a real plan or connection.
