Morphology

partially = partial (transparent) = part + ial + ly

Standard adverb formation from the adjective 'partial' by adding the productive suffix '-ly', preserving the expected meaning.

Etymology

Partially comes from the old Latin word pars, which means 'part' and is the same idea as the simple English word part. So to do something partially is to do only a 'part' of it, not the whole thing.
