Morphology
narrow-mindedly = narrow-minded (transparent) = narrow + mind + ed + ly
Formed by the transparent adjective 'narrow-minded' plus the regular adverbial suffix '-ly'; the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word narrow-mindedly is made of narrow ('small' or 'limited') and mind ('your thoughts'), and -ly turns it into how someone acts. So, to act narrow-mindedly is to behave as if your mind is 'narrow', refusing to accept different ideas.
