Morphology

cellularly = cellular (semi-transparent) = cell + ular + ly

The adverb is formed regularly from 'cellular', but the sense is a metaphorical extension from 'cell' to 'small separate units', which may not be fully literal for learners.

Etymology

Cellularly comes from the word cell ('small unit' or 'small room') and the picture of many little parts joined together. So if something is organised cellularly, it is divided into small, separate units that can work on their own.
