Morphology
bureaucratically = bureaucratic (transparent) = bureaucratic + ally
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ally' to the adjective 'bureaucratic', so the meaning 'in a bureaucratic manner' is directly derived.
Etymology
Bureaucratically comes from bureau meaning 'desk' or 'office' and the ending -cracy, as in democracy, meaning 'rule'. So to act bureaucratically is to follow office rules and lots of paperwork, like decisions made at desks in a slow, strict way.
