Etymology
Inwardly comes from the pieces in- meaning 'in' or 'inside' and -ward meaning 'toward', like in forward or backward, and the ending -ly turns it into a word that tells how something happens. So, to feel something inwardly is to keep it 'inside' your thoughts or feelings rather than show it outside.
