electromechanically = electromechanical (semi-transparent) = electro + mechan + ical + ly

Forming an adverb from the adjective 'electromechanical' with '-ly' is straightforward.

Etymology

The word electromechanically begins with electro-, which comes from a Greek word for 'amber' that showed early electric effects and gave us electric, and it adds mechanical, like mechanic or 'machine', meaning working with machines. So electromechanically means 'in a way that uses both electricity and machines'.
