Morphology
concededly = conceded (transparent) = concede + ed + ly
Formed by the past-participle adjective 'conceded' + '-ly', so the adverbial meaning 'in an admitted manner' is directly predictable from the base.
Etymology
Concededly comes from the verb concede, where con- means 'together' and -cede means 'go' or 'give up', the same root you see in recede and proceed. So to say something is concededly true is to 'admit' it or to 'give' the point to that idea.
