Morphology

quantitatively = quantitative (transparent) = quantity + ive + ly

The adverb is a standard -ly derivation from the adjective 'quantitative', whose meaning is directly related to 'quantity'.

Etymology

Quantitatively comes from the Latin root quant-, which means 'how much', and you can see the same root in quantity. So, to do something quantitatively is to measure it by 'amount' or by 'number'.
