Morphology
uninterestingly = uninteresting (transparent) = un + interest + ing + ly
Formed by a standard derivation: the adjective 'uninteresting' takes the adverbial suffix '-ly', yielding a predictable meaning.
Etymology
Uninterestingly is made from un- ('not') plus interest ('attention' or 'curiosity') with the endings -ing and -ly to make an adverb, so it means 'in a way that is not interesting'.
