Morphology

dimensionally = dimensional (transparent) = dimension + al + ly

A regular adverbial formation from the adjective 'dimensional' by adding '-ly', yielding an adverb meaning 'in a dimensional manner'.

Etymology

The word dimensionally comes from dimension, which means 'measure' or 'size', plus the parts -al and -ly that turn it into a word about how something is measured. So, dimensionally means 'in terms of measurement' or 'by size', like when you check something with a ruler, which is why scientists check if an equation is dimensionally correct.
