Morphology

resultantly = resultant (transparent) = result + ant + ly

Formed by the regular adjective-to-adverb derivation 'resultant' + '-ly', yielding 'in a resulting manner' which is predictable from 'result'.

Etymology

The word resultantly comes from the word result, which names what 'follows' from an action; the part re- meant 'back' and the other part meant 'to jump', so you can imagine something that 'comes back' after a cause. Adding -ly makes it a word that tells how something happens, so resultantly means 'as a result'.
