bewilderedly

/bɪˈwɪɫdɝdli/ adv

In a bewildered manner; with puzzlement.

Word Origin Bewilderedly comes from 'bewilder,' which is 'be-' (thoroughly) + 'wild' + '-er' (frequentative suffix). So to bewilder is to make someone thoroughly wild, lost in the wilderness. The '-ed' makes it an adjective, and '-ly' turns it into an adverb. The root 'wild' is related to 'wilderness' and 'wildcat.' The PIE root *welt- meant 'woodland, wild.'
