Morphology

juridically = juridical (transparent) = juridical + ly

Formed by the regular adverbial suffix '-ly' added to the adjective 'juridical', so the meaning is directly derived: 'in a juridical/legal way'.

Etymology

Juridically comes from the Latin root jur- meaning 'law', the same root you see in justice and jury. So, to act juridically is to act 'in a legal way' or 'according to the law'.
