Etymology: "Refinedly" is a plain formation: the adjective "refined" with the adverbial suffix "-ly" attached, producing an adverb meaning in a refined manner. "Refined" itself comes from the past participle of the verb "refine," which traces back through Middle English and Old French to Latin roots meaning to make fine or pure. Its sense of cultivated or elegant taste developed from the older meaning of freed from impurities, so "refinedly" carries that idea of polish and removal of the coarse.

Synonyms: elegantly, gracefully, culturedly, tastefully, sophisticatedly
