Morphology

hemispherically = hemispherical (transparent) = hemisphere + al + ly

The adverb is formed by the clear adjective 'hemispherical' + '-ly', so the meaning is directly derived from the base.

Etymology

The word hemispherically comes from the parts hemi- 'half' and sphere 'ball'. So when something happens hemispherically it happens in one half of the Earth, for example the northern or southern half.
