Morphology

calligraphically = calligraphic (transparent) = calligraph + ic + ly

This is a regular adverbial formation from the adjective 'calligraphic', so the meaning is directly recoverable from the base plus '-ly'.

Etymology

Calligraphically comes from Greek parts calli- meaning 'beautiful' and -graphy meaning 'to write'. So to write calligraphically is to write in a 'beautiful' or artistic way, and the -graph part is the same as in autograph, which helps you remember the 'writing' idea.
