Morphology

systematically = systematic (transparent) = systematic + ally

Regular adverbial derivation from the adjective 'systematic'; learners can predict the meaning 'in a methodical way'.

Etymology

Systematically comes from the word system, which meant a set of parts 'put together', like the parts of a machine. So to do something systematically is to do it in an ordered, planned way, following that set or plan.
