Morphology

unfalteringly = unfaltering (transparent) = un + falter + ing + ly

The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the clearly negated adjective 'unfaltering' (un- + faltering), yielding the expected meaning.

Etymology

Unfalteringly is made from un- 'not', falter 'to hesitate or lose strength', and -ly to make it an adverb. So, unfalteringly means doing something 'without hesitation' and very steadily.
