Morphology

cyclically = cyclical (transparent) = cycle + ly

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'cyclical', producing the predictable meaning 'in a cyclical manner'.

Etymology

Cyclically comes from an old Greek word kyklos meaning 'circle' or 'wheel', the same root you see in cycle and bicycle. So, to do something cyclically is to do it in a repeating 'circle', happening again and again at regular times.
