Morphology

gustatorily = gustatory (semi-transparent) = gustatory + ly

The adverb is formed by the regular addition of the productive English suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'gustatory', so the immediate step is straightforward.

Etymology

Gustatorily comes from the Latin verb gustare, which means 'to taste', and it shares the same root you find in the English word gusto. So, to do something gustatorily is to do it in a way that relates to 'taste' or 'tasting'.
