Morphology
qualitatively = qualitative (transparent) = quality + ative + ly
The adverb is formed transparently from the adjective 'qualitative' with the standard suffix '-ly'.
Etymology
The word qualitatively comes from the common word quality, which goes back to the old Latin word qualis meaning 'of what kind'. So, to look at something qualitatively is to look at what it is like or its nature, not at how much of it there is.
