Morphology
unexceptionably = unexceptionable (semi-transparent) = un + exception + able + ly
The formation un + exceptionable is analyzable, but 'exceptionable' is relatively uncommon and its mapping to 'objectionable' may not be obvious to average learners.
Etymology
Unexceptionably comes from the prefix un- 'not' and exception 'objection', the same root you see in except. So unexceptionably simply means 'without objection' — done in a way that is perfectly acceptable.
