Morphology
unwaveringly = unwavering (transparent) = un + waver + ing + ly
Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the clearly analysable adjective 'unwavering'.
Etymology
Unwaveringly begins with un- meaning 'not' and the part waver, which means 'to move like a wave' or 'to hesitate'. So to act unwaveringly is to act 'not moving back and forth', that is, with firm, steady determination and without changing your mind.
