Morphology

jointly = joint (transparent) = joint + ly

Derived directly from the adjective 'joint' with the regular adverbial suffix '-ly', so the meaning 'together' is predictable.

Etymology

Jointly comes from the simple word join, which means 'to put things together'. So to act jointly is to do something 'together' with others or as one group.
