Morphology

nonculturally = noncultural (transparent) = non + culture + al + ly

Formed regularly as non- + cultural + -ly; the negation and adverbial suffix produce a meaning directly predictable from 'culture'/'cultural'.

Etymology

Nonculturally is made from non- ('not') + culture (from a word meaning 'to grow' or 'care for') + -ly (which makes an adverb), so it literally means 'in a way not related to culture'.
