Morphology

concisely = concise (transparent) = concise + ly

Standard adverbial formation from the adjective 'concise' using the productive suffix '-ly', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Concisely comes from concise, which has Latin parts con- meaning 'together' and -cise from a word meaning 'to cut'. So to speak concisely is like 'cutting away' extra words to leave only the important points.
