Morphology

connectedly = connected (transparent) = connect + ed + ly

The adverb 'connectedly' is transparently derived from the adjective 'connected' by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly'.

Etymology

Connectedly comes from connect + -ly, and connect breaks into con- 'with' and nect 'to tie' or 'bind', like making a strong link. So to act or speak connectedly is to join ideas or actions smoothly, as if you have tied them together so they flow.
