Morphology

academically = academic (transparent) = academic + ally

Formed from the adjective 'academic' with the common adverbial suffix '-ally', so the meaning 'in an academic way' is directly derived.

Etymology

Academically comes from academy, which itself comes from the old name Akademia, a place where the teacher Plato taught students and people learned, a 'place of learning'. So, academically means 'in a way that relates to school or study'.
