Morphology
uncompromisingly = uncompromising (transparent) = un + compromise + ing + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the transparent adjective 'uncompromising' (un- + compromising).
Etymology
Uncompromisingly is made of the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the word compromise, which originally carried the idea of a shared 'promise' to meet in the middle. So to act uncompromisingly is to 'not promise' to meet halfway — you refuse to change or give in.
