Morphology

unquenchably = unquenchable (transparent) = un + quench + able + ly

Adding '-ly' to the adjective 'unquenchable' is a regular adverbial formation and the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word unquenchably is built from un- meaning 'not' and quench meaning 'to put out' or 'to satisfy', as in 'to quench your thirst' or to put out a fire. So unquenchably describes something, like a curiosity or a fire, that cannot be stopped or satisfied.
