Morphology

inconsequently = inconsequent (transparent) = in + consequent + ly

This is a standard adverb formation from the adjective 'inconsequent' using the suffix '-ly'.

Etymology

Inconsequently is made from the prefix in- meaning 'not' and consequent meaning 'following' or 'result', the same root you see in consequence and consequently. So to act inconsequently is to do something that does not follow from what came before, without a clear connection or result.
