Morphology

internally = internal (transparent) = internal + ly

This is a standard adverb formation from the adjective 'internal', and the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Internally comes from internal, which means 'inside', plus the ending -ly that turns it into an adverb and is like the word interior. That's why internally means 'from the inside' or 'in an inward way'.
