Morphology
ultrasonically = ultrasonic (transparent) = ultra + sonic + ly
The adverb is formed regularly from the adjective 'ultrasonic' with '-ly', so the meaning is directly recoverable from the base word.
Etymology
The word ultrasonically comes from ultra- 'beyond' and sonic 'sound'. So to do something ultrasonically is to use sound waves that are 'beyond' what people can hear, often to clean or work in a gentle, very exact way.
