Morphology
incompletely = incomplete (transparent) = in + complete + ly
This is a standard adverb formation from the adjective 'incomplete' with the regular suffix '-ly'.
Etymology
Incompletely is built from in- meaning 'not', complete meaning 'whole' or 'finished', and -ly meaning 'in a way'. So incompletely means 'in a not complete way', like a puzzle with missing pieces that is not finished.
