Morphology
unwarrantedly = unwarranted (transparent) = un + warrant + ed + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'unwarranted', which itself is a transparent negative formation from 'warrant' + '-ed'.
Etymology
Unwarrantedly comes from un- 'not' and warrant 'a guarantee or formal permission', the same root you see in warranty. So, to act unwarrantedly is to act 'without good reason or permission', which explains why the word means something done unfairly or without justification.
