Morphology

thematically = thematic (transparent) = theme + thematic + ally

Etymology

Thematically comes from the simple word theme, meaning 'main idea' or 'subject', with the endings -al and -ly that turn it into 'in a ... way'. So, to do something thematically is to do it in a way that connects to the main idea or subject.
