Morphology
accordingly = according (transparent) = accord + ing + ly
The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'according', whose meaning is directly related to 'accord'.
Etymology
Accordingly comes from accord ('agreement') plus the ending -ly, which makes it a word that tells how something is done. Long ago accord meant 'to bring to the heart', from an old word for 'heart', so accordingly means 'in a way that agrees' or 'as a result', and we use it when someone acts because of what was said or done.
