Morphology

unfamiliarly = unfamiliar (transparent) = un + familiar + ly

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'unfamiliar', giving a straightforward manner meaning 'in a not familiar way'.

Etymology

Unfamiliarly breaks into un- 'not', familiar which is like family and means 'known or close', and -ly 'in a way'. So, unfamiliarly means 'in a way that is not known or usual', which is why we use it when something feels strange or new.
