Etymology: "Disposedly" is a plain formation: the adjective "disposed," meaning inclined or willing, with the adverbial ending "-ly" attached, giving the sense "in a willing or inclined manner." "Disposed" itself comes from "dispose," which traces back through Old French to Latin "disponere," meaning to arrange or set in different places, so the original idea was of things set out in order, and only later of people set in a particular frame of mind. The "-ly" suffix has a long pedigree in English, descending from the Old English "-lic," which was used to turn nouns and adjectives into descriptions of manner. Attaching it to a participle-based adjective like "disposed" is one of the ordinary ways English builds adverbs, so the word needs no special explanation beyond the two parts that make it up.
