Morphology

rowdily = rowdy (transparent) = rowdy + ly

Regular adverb formation from the adjective 'rowdy' by adding '-ly'; the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Rowdily comes from rowdy, which in turn comes from row, a word for a 'noisy fight' or 'loud quarrel', with -y giving the sense 'full of'. So, to act rowdily is to act 'full of' noise and disorder, which explains the modern meaning of being loud and disorderly.
