Morphology

collaboratively = collaborative (transparent) = collaborate + ive + ly

Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'collaborative', creating the expected adverb meaning.

Etymology

Collaboratively comes from the Latin parts com- 'with' and labor 'work', the same root as the English word labor. So, to work collaboratively is to 'work with' other people to reach a common goal.
