Morphology

Adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'transnational' is a regular, predictable change forming an adverb.
Etymology
The word transnationally comes from the prefix trans- meaning 'across' and national meaning 'country', so it means doing something 'across countries'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of transport, where trans- also means 'across', so transnationally describes actions that go beyond one nation's borders.
