Morphology
unexplainably = unexplainable (transparent) = un + explain + able + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'unexplainable'; the structure and meaning are directly inferable from its parts.
Etymology
Unexplainably breaks into un- 'not', explain 'make clear', -able 'able to', and -ly (turns it into an adverb), so it literally means 'not able to be made clear'. A helpful way to remember it is that explain is like the common word plain 'clear', so unexplainably describes something that happens in a way you cannot make plain or understand.
