Etymology
Averagely comes from the common word average plus the adverb ending -ly, so it literally means 'in an average way'. Think of a line of exam scores where the middle person is not very high or very low — that middle position is averagely, which is why the word means 'typical' or 'neither very good nor very bad'.
