Morphology
extemporarily = extemporaneous (transparent) = extemporaneous + ly
The adverb is a regular -ly formation from the adjective 'extemporaneous', so its meaning is directly derived from the adjective.
Etymology
Extemporarily comes from the Latin phrase ex tempore, where ex- means 'out' and tempore means 'time', the same root you see in temporary and tempo. So to do something extemporarily is to do it 'in the moment' or without prior preparation.
