Morphology
unproblematically = unproblematic (transparent) = un + problem + atic + ally
Formed regularly by negating the adjective ('unproblematic') and adding the adverbial suffix '-ally', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Unproblematically is built from the prefix un- meaning 'not', the common word problem meaning 'difficulty', and the ending -ally meaning 'in a way'. So, unproblematically means 'in a way that does not cause problems' or 'without difficulties'.
