Morphology
electronically = electronic (transparent) = electron + ic + ally
Standard adverbial formation from the adjective 'electronic' indicating manner; the meaning 'in an electronic way' is directly derived.
Etymology
Electronically starts with electron, an old Greek word for 'amber' because rubbing amber makes a small electric force. That idea gave us electric and electricity, so to do something electronically is to do it with electric devices or systems rather than 'by hand'.
