Morphology
sinusoidally = sinusoidal (transparent) = sinusoid + al + ly
Formed by standard adjective->adverb suffixation: 'sinusoidal' + '-ly', so the manner meaning is directly derived from the adjective.
Etymology
Sinusoidally comes from the Latin sinus meaning 'curve' or 'fold' and the ending -oid meaning 'like', and it is related to the English word sinuous ('curvy'). So, sinusoidally means changing or moving in a smooth, wave-like way.
