Morphology

volumetrically = volumetric (transparent) = volume + metric + ally

Formed regularly from 'volumetric' + the adverbial suffix '-ally', so the relation to volume is clear.

Etymology

Volumetrically comes from volume ('amount of space') and the ending -metric ('measure'). So to do something volumetrically is to measure or think about it by its volume, by how much space it takes instead of by weight or number.
