Morphology
intraperitoneally = intraperitoneal (opaque) = intra + peritone + al + ly
The adverb is formed by a straightforward addition of '-ly' to the adjective 'intraperitoneal'.
Etymology
Intraperitoneally breaks into intra- 'within' and peritoneum 'belly lining', so it literally means giving something inside the space around the belly lining; that's why it is used when medicine is injected into that area.
