Morphology
unquestioningly = unquestioning (transparent) = un + question + ing + ly
The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'unquestioning', a predictable derivation.
Etymology
Unquestioningly is made from un- 'not' and question 'to ask or doubt', with -ly to show how something is done. So to act unquestioningly is to act 'without asking' or 'without doubt' — like following an order without a single question.
