Morphology

nondualistically = nondualistic (semi-transparent) = non + dual + istic + ally

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ally' to 'nondualistic'; the morphological operation is regular but the adjective 'nondualistic' is somewhat technical.

Etymology

Nondualistically breaks into non- 'not', dual 'two' as in duo, and the endings -istic and -ally which mean 'in a way'. So, to think nondualistically is to 'not see two' but to see things as one, which explains why the word means treating opposite things as a single whole.
