Morphology

coitally = coital (semi-transparent) = coit + al + ly

The adverb is a regular -ly derivative of 'coital', but 'coital' (and the combining form 'coit-') is a specialist/medical term that many learners will not know.

Etymology

The word coitally comes from the Latin coitus, which means 'coming together', and the part co- means 'together', as in cooperate. So, coitally means 'in a way relating to coming together', that is 'during sexual intercourse'.
