Morphology

eruditely = erudite (transparent) = erudite + ly

The adverb is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'erudite', yielding a straightforward manner adverb.

Etymology

Eruditely comes from the Latin verb erudire, which meant 'to teach' and comes from the root rudis meaning 'rough', the same root as the English word rude. So to speak eruditely is to speak in a well-educated, polished way.
