Morphology

unqualifiedly = unqualified (semi-transparent) = un + qualify + ed + ly

The adverb is a straightforward -ly derivation from 'unqualified', but 'unqualified' itself has two common senses ('without reservation' vs 'lacking qualifications') which may confuse learners.

Etymology

The word unqualifiedly starts with un- meaning 'not' and the part qualified comes from qualify, which is about adding a 'condition' or limit. So unqualifiedly means 'without any condition' or 'completely', and it is used when something is true with no doubt.
