Morphology
uncritically = uncritical (transparent) = un + critical + ly
The adverb is formed by adding -ly to 'uncritical', and the negative sense from 'un-' + 'critical' is a straightforward, regular derivation.
Etymology
Uncritically is made from un- meaning 'not' and critical, which is related to critic meaning 'to judge'. So uncritically means doing something 'without judging' or without careful thought.
