Morphology

karmically = karmic (transparent) = karmic + ally

Formed by the regular adjective-to-adverb suffixation 'karmic' + '-ally', so the meaning is directly predictable as 'in a manner relating to karma'.

Etymology

Karmically comes from karma, a Sanskrit word meaning 'action' or 'deed'. So, to say something is karmically connected is to say it is linked to the results or 'fruits' that come from those actions.
