Morphology
conceptually = conceptual (transparent) = concept + ual + ly
The adverb 'conceptually' is clearly derived from the adjective 'conceptual' by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly'.
Etymology
The word conceptually comes from concept, which is related to the verb conceive, a word that once meant 'to take in' or 'form in the mind'. So conceptually means 'in terms of ideas' or 'in the mind', which is why we use it for things that are not physical.
