Morphology

seminally = seminal (transparent) = seminal + ly

Direct adverbial formation from the adjective 'seminal' in its literal medical sense, so the meaning can be derived from the base.

Etymology

Seminally comes from the Latin semen 'seed'. In a medical sense this points to that seed-like fluid, so seminally can mean 'in a way that relates to semen or seminal fluid'.
