Etymology: "Accustomed" is the adjective meaning used to something or usual, and "accustomedly" simply adds the adverbial suffix "-ly" to it, producing a manner-of-action sense: doing something in the way one habitually does. The adverb follows the same pattern as countless other English formations, such as "boldly" from "bold" or "softly" from "soft". The base word traces back to "accustom", a verb meaning to make someone familiar with something through repeated use. It was formed in English from "custom" with the prefix "a-" (from Old French "a-", ultimately from Latin "ad-", meaning toward) and the past-participle ending "-ed". The root idea is that repeated practice makes something feel like one's own custom.
