Morphology

melodically = melodic (transparent) = melody + ic + ally

Formed by the adjective 'melodic' plus the adverbial suffix '-ally', so the meaning 'in a melodic way' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word melodically comes from an old Greek word melos meaning 'song'. Think of melody or melodic, so to do something melodically is to do it in a musical, tuneful way.
