thermally = thermal (transparent) = thermal + ly

The adverb is directly formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'thermal', so its meaning follows clearly.

Etymology

The word thermally comes from the Greek root thermo-, which means 'heat'. You can see the same root in thermometer and thermostat, so thermally means 'in a way that has to do with heat'.
