Morphology
meticulously = meticulous (transparent) = meticulous + ly
The adverb is a direct, regular formation from the adjective 'meticulous' with the productive adverbial suffix '-ly', so meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word meticulously comes from the Latin root metus, which means 'fear', and from an old word meticulosus meaning 'full of fear'. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine someone 'afraid' of making mistakes who checks every small detail, and that is why meticulously means doing something very carefully.
