Morphology

maximally = maximal (transparent) = maximal + ly

Standard adverb formation by adding '-ly' to the adjective 'maximal', yielding 'to the greatest degree'.

Etymology

The word maximally comes from the Latin root maxim- meaning 'greatest', the same root you see in maximum and the short form max; the ending -ly turns it into a word about how something is done. So, maximally means 'as much as possible' or 'to the greatest degree'.
