additively positive

Morphology

additively = additive (semi-transparent) = additive + ly

The adverbial form is regular, but the discourse-connector sense 'in addition/moreover' is a more idiomatic extension of the literal 'adding' sense and may not be obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Additively comes from the root add-, the same as add and addition, which means 'to add', so when you use it to give another point you are 'adding' more information, like saying 'also' or 'in addition'.
