Morphology

unrestrainedly = unrestrained (transparent) = un + restrain + ed + ly

The adverbial form 'unrestrainedly' is clearly derived from the adjective 'unrestrained'.

Etymology

Unrestrainedly comes from the parts un- ('not') and restrain ('to hold back'), the same idea you see in restraint. So to act unrestrainedly is to act 'not held back', freely and without limits.
