Surface Forms

jurally positive

Morphology

jurally = jural (semi-transparent) = jural + ly

Formed by suffixation from 'jural' (relating to law), but the specific sense 'determined by a jury' is narrower and not directly inferable from 'jural'.

Etymology

Jurally comes from the Latin root jur- and the verb jurare 'to swear', the same root in jury and juror, who are the people sworn to decide a case. So jurally means 'in a way decided by a jury'.
