Clear derivation from 'optimal' with the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' meaning 'in an optimal way'.

Etymology

Optimally comes from the Latin root optimus, meaning 'best', and you can see the same root in optimal and optimism. So to do something optimally is to do it in the 'best' way or in the way that works best.
