Etymology: "Unrestrainedly" is a plain construction: the adjective "unrestrained" with the adverbial suffix "-ly" added to the end. The adjective itself is built from "un-", meaning "not," and "restrained," so the word stacks three layers of English word-building onto one stem. The suffix is the older part. "-ly" descends from Old English "-līċe," which was attached to adjectives to form adverbs in much the same way, and it goes back through Proto-West Germanic and Proto-Germanic forms to a root shared with the English word "like." The sense of "in the manner of" that "-ly" carries is therefore inherited from the same idea that gave us "likely" and "lovely." The word is best understood as an ordinary, transparent formation: a familiar adjective with a productive suffix, which is why it can be built on the spot for any adjective ending in "-ed" or similar.
