Morphology
invariably = invariable (semi-transparent) = in + vari + able + ly
Adding '-ly' to 'invariable' is formally regular, but the common adverb sense 'always, without exception' is a lexicalized extension rather than a purely literal 'in an unchanging way'.
Etymology
Invariably comes from the parts in- meaning 'not' and variable meaning 'able to change', the same root as the common verb vary. So it literally means 'not changing', which is why invariably means 'always' or 'every time'.
