Morphology

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

Built by adding the adverbial '-ly' to 'hemispherical'; the shape-related meaning follows directly from the adjective.

Etymology

The word hemispherically comes from the parts hemi- 'half' and sphere 'ball'. So if something is done or made hemispherically, it has the shape or layout of a half-ball.
