Morphology

azimuthally = azimuthal (transparent) = azimuth + al + ly

Formed regularly by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'azimuthal', yielding a predictable adverbial meaning.

Etymology

Azimuthally comes from azimuth, which comes from Arabic as-sumūt meaning 'the directions'. So to do something azimuthally is to turn or place it by its direction around a central point, like moving a compass needle or the hands of a clock.
