Etymology: "Enragedly" is a plain formation: the adjective "enraged" with the adverbial suffix "-ly" added to it. "Enraged" is the past participle of "enrage," which itself comes from "en-," a prefix meaning "to put into," attached to the older English word "rage." So the adverb is simply a state of furious anger turned into a manner of acting, describing someone who does something while in that state. Because the word is built directly from existing English parts, it carries no hidden foreign history or dramatic shift in meaning. Its sense is exactly what the two parts suggest: an action done in a rage.
