Morphology
substantially = substantial (transparent) = substance + ial + ly
Standard adverbial derivation from the adjective 'substantial' meaning 'considerable', yielding 'considerably'.
Etymology
Substantially comes from Latin parts sub- 'under' and stare 'to stand' and links to the word substance, which means the real or important part. So when we say something changed substantially, we mean it changed by a large amount or 'to a great degree'.
