complicatedly

/ˈkɑmpɫəˌkeɪtədli/ adv

In a complicated manner.

Word Origin Complicatedly comes from complicated, from Latin com- 'together' and plicare 'to fold' — literally 'folded together'. The idea: many folds make something complex. The same root plicare gives us implicate (fold in), explicit (folded out, clear), duplicate (fold twice), and perplex (entangled). So complicatedly means in a tangled, folded-up way.
