The word is built logically: It consists of the noun 'die Ausnahme' (the exception), the linking -s, and the ending '-weise'. The ending '-weise' turns nouns into adverbs and means 'in the way/manner of ...'.
Normalerweise gehe ich früh schlafen, aber heute mache ich eine Ausnahme.
Normally I go to sleep early, but today I'm making an exception.
As an adverb, 'ausnahmsweise' (as an exception) can stand in different places in the sentence. If it is in position 1, the verb follows immediately. But it can also stand after the verb and the subject.
Ausnahmsweise dürfen die Kinder heute länger aufbleiben.
As an exception, the children may stay up longer today.
With 'ausnahmsweise' (as an exception), you signal that you are consciously going against a rule or habit. It emphasizes that this is not the normal case and is meant to be a one-time thing.

Einmal, when granting permission, only says that it applies to a single occasion. Ausnahmsweise additionally shows that this permission departs from a rule or habit. Without reference to a normal rule, einmal is appropriate; for a deliberate exception, ausnahmsweise is appropriate.

Although you normally have to be home by ten, you may stay out until midnight as an exception.
