Morphology

capaciously = capacious (transparent) = capacious + ly

Standard adverbial formation from 'capacious' + '-ly', so the meaning is directly derived as 'in a roomy manner'.

Etymology

The word capaciously comes from the Latin root capax, which means 'able to hold' and is the same root as capacity and capable. Think of a large bag or room that can hold a lot; that's why capaciously means 'in a way that shows great space'.
