Etymology: "Interferingly" is simply "interfering" with the adverbial ending "-ly" attached, so it means "in an interfering or disruptive manner." The base word "interfering" is the present participle and adjective of "interfere," which came into English from Old French "entrefrer," meaning to strike against one another, a sense that still lingers in the idea of two things colliding or getting in each other's way. The suffix "-ly" comes from the Old English "-lic," which was originally a word meaning "body" or "form" and gradually became a marker that turns adjectives into adverbs. Attaching it to a participle like "interfering" is a regular process, so the word needs no special history of its own; its meaning follows directly from the parts.
