Morphology
conditionally = conditional (transparent) = condition + al + ly
Formed by adding -ly to 'conditional' (itself 'condition' + -al), and the adverbial meaning is directly predictable from the adjective.
Etymology
Conditionally comes from condition, which is built from con- 'together' and dic- 'to say', the same dic- you see in dictionary. So to act conditionally is to do something 'only if' certain terms or rules are met.
