Etymology: "Concentratedly" is a plain formation: the adjective "concentrated" with the adverb-forming suffix "-ly" attached. "Concentrated" itself comes from "concentrate," a verb built on the Latin "concentrare," meaning to bring together to a single center, from "con-" (together) and "centrum" (center). That root gives the word its basic sense of gathering attention or effort into one point, which is exactly what the adverb describes. The adverb is the adjective's form with -ly, so it describes doing something with all one's attention gathered on a single point. Its sense comes straight from the adjective, with no later shift in meaning to trace. Most English speakers would reach for "with concentration" or "intently" instead, so the adverb is seldom used.
