Morphology

unsatiably = unsatiable (transparent) = un + satiable + ly

Forming an adverb by adding '-ly' to 'unsatiable' is a regular and predictable derivation.

Etymology

Unsatiably breaks into un- ('not') and sate, from an old Latin root meaning 'enough' or 'to fill', the same root you see in satisfy and satisfaction. So, to do something unsatiably is to do it in a way that cannot be filled or satisfied.
