Morphology

jurally = jural (transparent) = jural + ly

Clearly formed by adding -ly to 'jural' to mean 'in a legal manner', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Jurally comes from the Latin root jur- 'law', the same root in justice and jury, so it links to legal rights and rules. So jurally means 'in a legal way'.
