twistedly = twisted (semi-transparent) = twist + ed + ly
The adjective 'twisted' here is a figurative extension to mean 'convoluted', so the adverbial meaning is partly predictable but not strictly literal.
Etymology
Twistedly comes from the verb twist meaning 'to turn or bend' and the ending -ly. Imagine a road or a story with many sudden turns, like a 'plot twist'; something that happens twistedly is full of unexpected turns and is hard to follow.
