Morphology
intermediately = intermediate (transparent) = intermediate + ly
Formed by the regular suffixation of '-ly' to the adjective 'intermediate', yielding 'in an intermediate way', which is directly predictable.
Etymology
The word intermediately comes from the parts inter- 'between' and medi- 'middle', the same idea you see in the English word middle. So, to act intermediately is to do something 'between' two extremes or 'in the middle', not at one end or the other.
