Morphology

domestically = domestic (transparent) = domestic + ally

Formed by the standard adverbial suffix '-ally' from the adjective 'domestic', so the meaning 'in a domestic/home manner' is directly derived.

Etymology

Domestically comes from the old Latin word domus meaning 'home', so think of it as 'at home' or about family life; that's why something done domestically is happening in the home or among family members.
