Morphology
discriminatingly = discriminating (transparent) = discriminate + ing + ly
The adverb is formed by adding the standard adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'discriminating' (itself the participial/adjectival form of 'discriminate'), so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Discriminatingly comes from the verb discriminate and is related to discern, which means 'to see or tell the difference'. So to act discriminatingly is to choose carefully and notice small differences in quality.
