Morphology
unenergetically = unenergetic (transparent) = un + energetic + ally
The adverb is a regular formation from the adjective 'unenergetic' by adding the adverbial suffix '-ally', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word unenergetically breaks into un- 'not', energy 'power to do things', and -ly 'in a ... way'. So, unenergetically means 'in a way that has no energy', like doing something slowly or without enthusiasm.
