Morphology

unimportantly = unimportant (transparent) = un + important + ly

Formed from the adjective 'unimportant' with the regular adverbial suffix '-ly', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Unimportantly is built from un- ('not') and important, which comes from the same root as import and gives the idea of 'carrying weight' or 'having value'. So, unimportantly means 'in a way that does not carry weight'.
