Morphology

globally = global (transparent) = global + ly

The adverb is the regular -ly derivation from the adjective 'global', so its meaning is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

Globally comes from globe, which means 'the Earth' or a 'round object' and is the same root as global. The ending -ally turns it into 'in a ... way', so globally means 'in a worldwide way' or 'all over the world'.
