Morphology
physiologically = physiological (transparent) = physiology + al + ly
Formed by standard adjectival '-al' from 'physiology' to make 'physiological', then adverbial '-ly'; the meaning follows regular derivational patterns.
Etymology
Physiologically comes from physio- meaning 'nature' or the body's natural parts and -logical meaning 'study', as in physiology, with -ly to mean 'in a way'. So physiologically means 'in a way that relates to the body's functions and processes'.
