Etymology: "Utopianly" is simply "utopian" with the adverbial suffix "-ly" attached. The base word goes back to Thomas More's 1516 book "Utopia," where he coined "Utopia" from Greek roots meaning roughly "no place," a pun that also sounds like "good place." From that invented name, "utopian" came to describe anything relating to such an idealized society, and then to describe plans or thinking that are impractically perfect. Adding "-ly" produces an adverb describing how someone acts or thinks when driven by a vision of a flawless community. The suffix does the work here: it turns the adjective into a manner word, so the sentence can say someone behaved utopianly rather than that they were utopian. The word is a plain formation with no separate history of its own, so its story is really the story of "utopia."
