Morphology
immaculately = immaculate (transparent) = im + maculate + ly
Standard adverbial formation by adding '-ly' to the adjective 'immaculate'; the adverbial meaning is directly predictable.
Etymology
The word immaculately comes from Latin parts im- meaning 'not' and macula meaning 'spot' or 'stain'. So to do something immaculately is to do it 'without a spot', which is why the word means perfectly clean or flawless.
