Morphology
unrepentantly = unrepentant (transparent) = un + repent + ant + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the clearly negative adjective 'unrepentant', which itself transparently combines 'un-' with 'repentant'.
Etymology
The word unrepentantly is made of un- 'not', repent 'to feel sorry', and -ly which makes it a word that describes how something is done. So, to act unrepentantly is to act 'not sorry' — openly showing no regret or remorse.
