Morphology

economically = economic (transparent) = economic + ally

Derived directly from the adjective 'economic' + adverbial '-ally', meaning 'in a way that relates to the economy'.

Etymology

Economically comes from Greek roots oikos 'house' and nomos 'management', because managing a household's money and goods grew into the idea of managing a country's money and resources. So economically means 'in terms of the economy' or 'relating to money and national resources'.
