Morphology

transculturally = transcultural (transparent) = trans + culture + al + ly

The adverb is a regular -ly derivation from 'transcultural', which itself transparently combines 'trans-' and 'cultural'.

Etymology

The word transculturally comes from the parts trans- ('across') and culture ('ways of life'). So, to do something transculturally is to do it 'across' cultures, mixing ideas, food, music, and habits from different places.
