Morphology
exclusively = exclusive (semi-transparent) = ex + clus + ive + ly
This is a regular adverb formation from the adjective 'exclusive'.
Etymology
The word exclusively comes from the parts ex- 'out' and cludere 'to shut', the same root you see in exclude and close. So, something done exclusively 'shuts out' others and is 'only' for one person or group.
