Morphology

uninformatively = uninformative (transparent) = un + inform + ative + ly

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'uninformative'; the meaning 'in a not informative way' is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word uninformatively is made of un- 'not', inform 'to give information', and -ly 'in a way', just like information. So it means 'in a way that does not give useful information'.
