procedurally = procedural (transparent) = procedure + al + ly
Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'procedural', so the meaning 'in a procedural way' is directly predictable from the base.
Etymology
The word procedurally comes from procedure, which comes from old Latin parts pro- 'forward' and cedere 'to go', like in proceed. So to do something procedurally is to go forward step by step, following a set of rules.
