Morphology
noncomprehensively = noncomprehensive (transparent) = non + comprehend + ive + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'noncomprehensive'; the negative prefix 'non-' on 'comprehensive' and the '-ly' adverbial meaning are straightforward.
Etymology
Noncomprehensively breaks into non- meaning 'not' and comprehend meaning 'to grasp' or 'understand', like grasping a cup with your hand, and that picture helps you remember the idea. So noncomprehensively means doing something 'not fully' or in a limited, incomplete way.
