Morphology
all-firedly = all-fired (semi-transparent) = all + fired + ly
The adverb is transparently formed by adding -ly to the colloquial adjective 'all-fired', but the colloquial emphatic sense of 'all-fired' is regional and not fully predictable from its parts for all learners.
Etymology
All-firedly comes from the old phrase all-fired, where all means 'completely' and fired comes from 'fire' and suggests being 'hot' or 'very excited', and -ly turns it into a word that shows how something is done. So, all-firedly means 'extremely' and is used to give strong emphasis.
