titanically = titanic (transparent) = titan + ic + ally

The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ally' to the adjective 'titanic', so the meaning 'in a titanic manner' is directly derived.

Etymology

Titanically comes from Titan, the name of the giant gods in Greek stories, and from titanic, which means 'very large or strong'. So doing something titanically means doing it in a very large, powerful, or impressive way.
