Morphology
unconsciously = unconscious (transparent) = un + conscious + ly
Formed by regular adjective-to-adverb conversion ('unconscious' + '-ly'); the meaning directly follows from 'conscious' -> 'unconscious' -> 'unconsciously'.
Etymology
Unconsciously starts with un- meaning 'not' and has the part conscious meaning 'aware' or 'knowing', so the word literally says 'not aware'. So to act unconsciously is to do something 'not aware'—for example, smiling or tapping your foot without meaning to.
