Morphology
uneventfully = uneventful (transparent) = un + event + ful + ly
Adding '-ly' to the adjective 'uneventful' creates a standard adverbial form; the step is a regular and predictable suffixation.
Etymology
The word uneventfully breaks into un- 'not', event 'something that happens', -ful 'full of', and -ly 'in a way'. So to do something uneventfully is to do it 'in a way with no events' — calm and without surprises or problems.
