Forming an adverb with the productive suffix '-ly' from an adjective is a regular and transparent process for learners.
Etymology
Vociferously comes from the Latin roots vox 'voice' and ferre 'to carry', and you can see the same root in vocal. Think of it as carrying your voice loudly, and that's why to speak vociferously means to say something in a loud, strong way.
