Morphology

homeopathically = homeopathic (transparent) = homeopath + ic + ally

Formed from the adjective 'homeopathic' with the regular adverbial suffix '-ally', and the meaning directly relates to homeopathy.

Etymology

Homeopathically comes from homeopathy, built from homeo- 'similar' and -pathy 'sickness', the same -pathy you see in sympathy. So, to treat someone homeopathically originally means to try to cure a sickness with something 'similar' to it.
