endemically = endemic (transparent) = endemic + ally

The adverbial form is clearly derived from the adjective 'endemic' with the standard suffix '-ally'.

Etymology

The word endemically comes from Greek parts en- 'in' and demos 'people', and you can see demos in democracy ('rule by the people'). So when something is endemically present, it is 'in' a place or group and is regularly found there.
