photographically positive

Morphology

photographically = photographic (transparent) = photograph + ic + ally

The adjectival form 'photographic' is a regular derivation from 'photograph' with -ic, and the adverb is formed by the usual adverbial suffix (-ally), so the meaning is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

Photographically is built from photo- meaning 'light' and -graph- meaning 'to write', the same parts in photograph, which you can think of as 'writing with light'. So, photographically means 'by means of photography' or 'using photographs'.
