Morphology

numerically = numerical (transparent) = numerical + ly

The adverb is regularly formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'numerical', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Numerically comes from the Latin root numer- meaning 'number', and you can see the same root in English words like number and numeral. So numerically means 'in terms of numbers' or 'by numbers'.
