Morphology

advertently = advertent (transparent) = advertent + ly

The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix -ly to the adjective 'advertent', so the meaning is directly derived (in an attentive/deliberate manner).

Etymology

Advertently comes from parts ad- 'to' and vert 'turn', so it originally meant 'turn your attention to' something. Think of inadvertent, which means 'not on purpose', so advertently is the opposite and means 'on purpose' or 'intentionally'.
