Morphology
monochromatically = monochromatic (transparent) = mono + chrom + atic + ly
The adverb is formed by the regular addition of '-ly' to the adjective 'monochromatic', whose meaning is already compositional.
Etymology
Monochromatically comes from the Greek parts mono- ('one') and chroma ('color'), the same idea behind monochrome. So, to do something monochromatically is to use or show only one color.
