Morphology
relentlessly = relentless (transparent) = relent + less + ly
Formed by clear adjective-to-adverb derivation from 'relentless' + '-ly', a standard and predictable change.
Etymology
The word relentlessly comes from the verb relent, which means 'to soften' or 'become less harsh', plus the ending -less meaning 'without' and -ly which makes it an adverb. So, like endless with -less, relentlessly means doing something 'without softening', not stopping or becoming less strong.
