Morphology

transactionally = transactional (transparent) = transaction + al + ly

Formed regularly from the adjective 'transactional' with the adverbial suffix '-ly', producing a manner meaning directly derivable from the base.

Etymology

Transactionally comes from trans- ('across') and action ('doing'), the same root in transaction, which is an exchange or business step. So in banks or computer systems, to act transactionally is to do all parts of a payment or update 'all together', so either everything happens or nothing changes.
