Morphology
subliminally = subliminal (semi-transparent) = sub + liminal + ly
Forming the adverb with '-ly' from 'subliminal' is regular, but 'subliminal' itself contains 'liminal', a rare base that learners may not know, so full transparency is limited.
Etymology
Subliminally comes from the parts sub- meaning 'under' and limen meaning 'threshold' or 'edge'. So, to do something subliminally is to do it 'under' the edge of our conscious mind, influencing us without us noticing.
