Morphology
unswervingly = unswerving (transparent) = un + swerve + ing + ly
The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the clear adjective 'unswerving'.
Etymology
The word unswervingly comes from un- ('not') plus swerve ('turn aside') and the ending -ly that makes it an adverb. So to act unswervingly is to keep on a straight path and not change direction, belief, or purpose.
