Morphology

fantastically = fantastic (transparent) = fantastic + ally

Standard adverbial formation from the adjective 'fantastic' to mean 'in a fantastic way' or 'to an exceptional degree'.

Etymology

Fantastically comes from the adjective fantastic, which is linked to the common word fantasy and the idea of 'imagination' or 'an imagined thing'. That's why when you say something happened fantastically, you mean it was 'unbelievably' or 'exceptionally' strong or good, almost as if it came from a wild imagination.
