Etymology: "Untamedly" is about as plain as English etymology gets: it is the adjective "untamed" with the adverbial suffix "-ly" added to the end. "Untamed" itself is "un-" (a negating prefix meaning "not") joined to "tamed," the past participle of "tame," so the word literally describes doing something in a manner that is not subdued or domesticated. The suffix does the grammatical work. "-ly" turns an adjective into an adverb, so "untamed" (describing a thing) becomes "untamedly" (describing how an action is done). The result is a word whose meaning is almost entirely transparent from its parts, with no surprises in its pathway into English.
