aromatically positive

Morphology

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

Formed from 'aromatic' with the adverbial '-ally', but the chemical sense is specialized and not directly inferable from everyday 'aroma' by an average learner.

Etymology

The word aromatically in chemistry also comes from aroma ('smell') because early chemists called many ring-shaped molecules aromatic when they had strong scents. So aromatically in chemistry means 'in a way that shows the special stability of a ring-shaped part of a molecule'.
