Morphology

pluralistically = pluralistic (transparent) = plural + istic + ally

The adverb is a regular adverbial formation from the adjective 'pluralistic' (plural + -istic), so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Pluralistically comes from plural ('more than one'), the idea of -ism ('a belief or way of thinking'), and -ly (to make it an adverb). So, to act pluralistically is to behave in a way that accepts or supports many different people, ideas, or methods.
