Etymology: "Distortedly" is simply "distorted" with the suffix "-ly" added, turning the adjective into an adverb meaning "in a distorted manner." "Distorted" itself comes from the verb "distort," which traces back to Latin "distorquere," meaning "to twist apart," built from "dis-" (apart) and "torquere" (to twist). The suffix "-ly" is the common Old English ending that marks adverbs of manner, so the whole word simply describes twisting or bending something out of its true shape.
