Morphology

disconnectedly = disconnected (transparent) = dis + connect + ed + ly

The adverb is a regular and easily interpretable formation from the adjective 'disconnected' with the standard adverbial suffix '-ly'.

Etymology

Disconnectedly comes from the start dis- meaning 'not' and connect meaning 'to join', the same root you see in connection, so imagine loose wires or a broken chain. So, to do something disconnectedly is to be 'not joined' and to move from one idea to another without a smooth flow.
