Etymology: "Intolerantly" is a plain formation: the adjective "intolerant" with the adverb suffix "-ly" added to it. "Intolerant" itself comes from "intolerant" in the sense of not enduring or tolerating something, built from the Latin prefix "in-" meaning "not" and "tolerant," which descends from the Latin verb "tolerare," meaning "to bear" or "to endure." So the word's core idea is simply refusing to bear what one finds disagreeable. The suffix has a longer ancestry than the word it attaches to. "-ly" traces back through Middle English and Old English "-lic" and "-līċe," where it meant "having the form or appearance of," and it is related to the word "like." Its ultimate root is a Proto-Germanic form meaning body or form, which is why adverbs ending in "-ly" carry a sense of manner: "intolerantly" means in the manner of someone who is intolerant.
