Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the clearly analyzable adjective 'unexciting', producing a predictable adverb.
Etymology
Unexcitingly comes from un- ('not'), excite ('to stir up' or 'to make excited', like stirring a pot), and -ly ('in a way'). So, unexcitingly means 'in a way that does not stir up' interest, or in a dull, uninteresting manner.
