Morphology
unprecedentedly = unprecedented (transparent) = un + precedent + ed + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'unprecedented', a straightforward derivation.
Etymology
Unprecedentedly breaks into un- 'not' and precedent 'something done before', and the related verb precede means 'go before'. So unprecedentedly means 'in a way that has not happened before'.
