Morphology

aerobically = aerobic (transparent) = aerobic + ally

Standard adverbial formation from the adjective 'aerobic' using '-ally', so the meaning 'in an aerobic way' is directly derived.

Etymology

Aerobically comes from the Greek parts aero- meaning 'air' and -bio- meaning 'life', the same pieces you see in aeroplane and biology. So to exercise aerobically is to use oxygen or 'air' to help your body work for a long time.
