Morphology
bloodedly = blooded (opaque) = blood + ed + ly
The meaning 'in a cold, emotionless manner' is not recoverable from 'blood' -> 'blooded' -> 'bloodedly' without the crucial modifier 'cold' (as in 'cold-bloodedly'), so learners cannot reliably derive this sense.
Etymology
Bloodedly comes from blood, the red liquid of life, and is used as if someone has 'no warm blood' inside; so to act bloodedly means to behave in a cold, emotionless way.
