Morphology
pornographically = pornographic (transparent) = pornography + ic + ally
Formed from 'pornographic' + '-ally'; the meaning 'in a pornographic manner' is directly predictable from the adjective.
Etymology
Pornographically comes from porn-, from a Greek word meaning 'prostitute' or 'sexual', and -graphy, meaning 'to write or show' and the same root in photograph. So, to do something pornographically is to show or describe sexual things in a way that is meant to arouse.
