Morphology
conformably = conformable (transparent) = conform + able + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'conformable', yielding the expected meaning 'in a manner that is conformable'.
Etymology
Conformably comes from con- meaning 'with' and form meaning 'shape' or 'structure', the same root you see in the common word form. Think of it as 'fitting with the shape', and that's why to do something conformably is to act 'in agreement' with rules, standards, or instructions.
