Morphology
circumstantially = circumstantial (semi-transparent) = circumstance + ial + ly
Formed from 'circumstance' → 'circumstantial' → + '-ly'; the morphological chain is clear but the sense 'in a detailed or minute manner' is an extended use not fully predictable from the base.
Etymology
Circumstantially comes from Latin parts circum- meaning 'around' and stand meaning 'to stand', so it originally meant the facts 'standing around' an event. So to tell something circumstantially is to give all the small facts and details that surround that event.
