Morphology

organically = organic (transparent) = organic + ally

Formed regularly from 'organic' by adding '-ally'; meaning 'by organic methods' is a direct extension of the adjective.

Etymology

Organically comes from organic, which originally meant 'from living things' and later became the word for food grown without man-made chemicals. That's why something grown organically is produced by natural methods, not by artificial sprays or additives.
