Morphology
administratively = administrative (transparent) = administration + ive + ly
Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'administrative', giving a direct meaning 'in an administrative manner'.
Etymology
Administratively comes from the parts ad- 'to' and ministrare 'to serve', the same root you see in minister and administration, which are about helping or managing. So, administratively means 'in a way that relates to running or managing an organization'.
