Morphology
self-conceitedly = self-conceited (transparent) = self + conceit + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'self-conceited', so the adverbial meaning is clearly derived.
Etymology
Self-conceitedly combines self meaning 'you' and conceit, which is related to familiar words like conceive and concept and comes from a root meaning 'to form or hold an idea'. So, to act self-conceitedly is to behave as if you 'hold' a very high idea of yourself, which makes you seem overly proud.
