Morphology
asynchronously = asynchronous (semi-transparent) = a + synchronous + ly
This is a standard adverb formation from the adjective 'asynchronous'.
Etymology
Asynchronously breaks into a- 'not' and synchronous, the same root as synchronize which means 'to make things happen together', and comes from syn- 'together' and chronos 'time'. So, to do something asynchronously is to do it 'not at the same time' or without waiting for others.
