Morphology
unequivocally = unequivocal (transparent) = un + equivocal + ly
Formed by the clear adverbial suffix '-ly' added to 'unequivocal', which itself means 'not equivocal', so the adverbial meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word unequivocally is un- 'not' plus equivocal 'unclear'. A helpful way to remember is that equivocal comes from old parts meaning 'equal' and 'voice', so unequivocally is 'not unclear', in other words 'leaving no doubt'.
