aromatically = aromatic (transparent) = aroma + ic + ally

Built by adding the adverbial suffix '-ally' to the adjective 'aromatic', so the meaning 'in an aromatic way' is directly derived from the adjective.

Etymology

The word aromatically comes from aroma, meaning 'smell', so think of fresh bread or coffee filling a room with a warm scent. That's why aromatically means 'in a way that has a noticeable and pleasant smell'.
