Morphology

intraperitoneally = intraperitoneal (opaque) = intra + peritone + al + ly

The adverb is formed by a straightforward addition of '-ly' to the adjective 'intraperitoneal'.

Etymology

Intraperitoneally breaks into intra- 'within' and peritoneum 'belly lining', so it literally means giving something inside the space around the belly lining; that's why it is used when medicine is injected into that area.
