Morphology

projectively = projective (semi-transparent) = project + ive + ly

Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'projective', a regular and transparent step.

Etymology

Projectively comes from project, which originally meant 'to throw forward', and you can see the same idea in projector, a device that sends light forward. So to act projectively is to 'send or place forward'. In math that means moving points to new places, and in psychology it means putting your feelings onto someone else.
