Etymology: "Bodiedly" is formed from "bodied" plus the adverbial suffix "-ly". "Bodied" comes from "body," which in Old English was "bodig," and "-ed" makes an adjective meaning having a body of a particular kind, as in "full-bodied." Adding "-ly" turns that adjective into an adverb meaning in bodily or physical form, so the word describes something done or existing in a physical, embodied way. The word is rare, and it is a straightforward English formation rather than a borrowing from another language. Its use is largely limited to a few dictionary and literary contexts, where it stands as an alternative to "bodily" with a slightly more archaic or emphatic tone.
