Morphology
exasperatedly = exasperated (transparent) = exasperate + ed + ly
Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'exasperated', which itself is a regular participial adjective of 'exasperate'.
Etymology
Exasperatedly comes from exasperate, which joins ex- meaning 'completely' and asper meaning 'rough', so it originally meant 'to make rough' or to wear down someone's patience. So, to act exasperatedly is to show strong annoyance as if your patience has been rubbed away.
