Morphology

longitudinally = longitudinal (semi-transparent) = longitudinal + ly

Formed predictably from the adjective 'longitudinal' + '-ly', but the sense 'over a period of time' (research usage) is somewhat specialized and may not be fully transparent to general learners.

Etymology

Longitudinally comes from the root long meaning 'long' and the same root as longitude meaning 'length'. So, in research, to measure something longitudinally is to follow the same people or items over a long period of time.
