Morphology
uninterruptedly = uninterrupted (transparent) = un + interrupt + ed + ly
Standard adverb formation from the adjective 'uninterrupted' using the productive suffix '-ly'.
Etymology
Uninterruptedly has un- ('not') plus interrupt, where inter- means 'between' and rupt means 'break'. So uninterruptedly describes something done 'without a pause' or 'not broken', which is why it means happening continuously.
