Morphology

inaccessibly = inaccessible (transparent) = in + access + ible + ly

This is a regular adverb formation from the adjective 'inaccessible' with the standard suffix '-ly'.

Etymology

The word inaccessibly begins with in- meaning 'not' and uses the same root as access, which means an 'entrance' or a 'way in'. So, something described as inaccessibly is put or placed in a way that is 'hard or impossible to reach'.
