geometrically = geometric (transparent) = geometry + ic + ally

Formed by the regular adjective-to-adverb derivation from 'geometric' + '-ally'; the relation to 'geometry' via '-ic' is also standard and recognizable.

Etymology

Geometrically comes from the word geometry, which in old Greek breaks into geo- meaning 'earth' and metron meaning 'measure'. Geometry grew to mean the study of 'shapes' and 'sizes', so geometrically means 'in a way that follows shape or measurement rules' — that is why it can describe both arranged shapes and rapid, regular kinds of growth.
