Morphology

locally = local (transparent) = local + ly

The meaning is clearly derived from 'local' with the adverbial suffix '-ly' indicating manner.

Etymology

Locally comes from the Latin word locus meaning 'place' and shares the same root as location. So local means 'in a certain area', and locally means doing or finding something in that area rather than everywhere.
