Morphology

electromagnetically = electromagnetic (transparent) = electro + magnet + ic + ly

The adverb is formed regularly from the adjective 'electromagnetic' with '-ly', and the adjective itself is transparently built from 'electro-' + 'magnet' + '-ic'.

Etymology

Electromagnetically comes from joining electro- ('electricity') and magnet ('a thing that pulls metal'), with -ly to make an adverb. Think of an electromagnet — a piece of metal that becomes magnetic when electricity flows — so to do something electromagnetically is to do it 'by using electricity and magnets'.
