Etymology: "Disorganizedly" is a plain formation: the adjective "disorganized" with the adverb-forming suffix "-ly" added to the end. The adjective itself is "disorganized" with the prefix "dis-", meaning "not" or "the opposite of", attached to "organized," which comes from the same root as "organ" and goes back to the idea of a tool or instrument for working. So the word is literally "in a manner of not being arranged like a working instrument." The suffix "-ly" is one of the most productive in English, turning adjectives into adverbs of manner, so "disorganizedly" follows the same pattern as words like "carelessly" or "haphazardly." Because it stacks a negating prefix, an adjective-forming suffix and an adverb suffix onto a single base, it is one of the longer forms in common use, though it is far less frequent than the plain adjective.
