Morphology

omnisciently = omniscient (transparent) = omniscient + ly

Adverb formed by the regular addition of '-ly' to the adjective 'omniscient', so the meaning directly follows from the base adjective.

Etymology

Omnisciently comes from Latin parts omni- meaning 'all' and scient- meaning 'to know', the same root as in science. So, to speak omnisciently is to act like you 'know everything', which explains why the word means showing complete or unlimited knowledge.
