Morphology
unstintingly = unstinting (transparent) = un + stint + ing + ly
Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'unstinting' (itself 'un-' + 'stint'), so the meaning is directly derived from 'unstinting'.
Etymology
Unstintingly starts with un- meaning 'not' and the root stint meaning 'to limit' or 'hold back', so it really says 'not limited'. A helpful image is someone who gives time or help like water that keeps flowing and does not stop. So, to do something unstintingly is to give or help 'without holding back'.
