irreproachably = irreproachable (transparent) = ir + reproach + able + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'irreproachable', a regular and predictable derivation.
Etymology
Irreproachably has the prefix ir- meaning 'not' and the root reproach meaning 'blame' or 'criticism'. So, to act irreproachably is to behave in a way that is 'not to be blamed' and cannot be criticized.
