Morphology
inexpediently = inexpedient (transparent) = in + expedient + ly
This is a regular adverb formation from the adjective 'inexpedient', meaning 'in an inexpedient manner'.
Etymology
Inexpediently is made of the prefix in- meaning 'not' and expedient meaning 'helpful' or 'practical', the same root you see in expedite ('to make faster'). So, to act inexpediently is to do something that is 'not helpful' or 'not wise' for the situation.
