Morphology

dazedly = dazed (transparent) = daze + ed + ly

Clearly formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'dazed', so the meaning follows directly from the base.

Etymology

Dazedly comes from the verb daze, which means 'to stun' or make someone confused, plus the adverb ending -ly. So to act dazedly is to behave like someone who is 'stunned' and not fully aware.
