Morphology

exogenously = exogenous (semi-transparent) = exo + gen + ous + ly

Formed by the regular adjective-to-adverb derivation: adding '-ly' to 'exogenous' yields 'exogenously', a straightforward morphological step.

Etymology

The word exogenously comes from the parts exo- meaning 'outside' and -genous meaning 'produced' or 'born', the same root you see in generate and generation. So, if something is given exogenously, it comes 'from outside' a body or system rather than being made inside.
