Morphology

antitypically = typically (semi-transparent) = anti + type + ical + ly

The word is formed by adding anti- to typically, but the resulting sense is a less common and only loosely conventional use of the prefix.

Etymology

Antitypically comes from the parts anti- and typical, where anti- can mean 'against' and typical means 'usual' or 'normal', so imagine doing something 'against the usual'. That's why antitypically means acting in an unusual or not-typical way.
