Morphology
transcendently = transcendent (transparent) = transcend + ent + ly
The adverb is a regular derivation from the adjective 'transcendent' using the productive suffix '-ly'.
Etymology
Transcendently comes from trans- 'across' and scend 'to climb', the same root you see in ascend. So to do something transcendently is like 'climbing beyond' ordinary limits, meaning to do it in an extraordinary way.
