Morphology

statedly = stated (transparent) = state + ed + ly

Formed by regular adjectival past-participial 'stated' (state + -ed) with the adverbial suffix '-ly', so the meaning is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

The word statedly comes from the word state, which can mean 'to say' or 'to say officially', and the ending -ly makes it describe how something is done. So, statedly means 'in a declared or official way'.
