Morphology

cosmically = cosmic (semi-transparent) = cosmic + ally

Formed from 'cosmic' with a regular adverbial suffix, but the informal intensifier sense ('extremely') is a metaphoric extension from 'vast/universal' and not fully predictable for learners.

Etymology

Cosmically originally meant 'of the universe' because it comes from cosmos meaning 'world' or 'universe'. A helpful way to remember the informal use is to imagine something so huge it belongs to the whole universe, so cosmically can mean 'very' or 'extremely'.
