successfully = successful (transparent) = success + ful + ly
The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'successful', yielding a straightforward manner adverb.
Etymology
Successfully comes from the noun success plus the ending -ly, and success comes from an old root that meant 'to come out well' (you can see the same idea in succeed). So, to do something successfully is to do it 'in a way that comes out well' or that achieves the result.
