The adverb is a regular formation from the adjective 'sophisticated' with the productive adverbial suffix '-ly', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word sophisticatedly comes from the root soph- meaning 'wise', a part you can see in philosophy. The verb sophisticate came to mean 'make more complex or refined' and the ending -ly means 'in a ... way', so sophisticatedly means doing something 'in a complex or refined way'.
