obscenely

/ɑbˈsinəɫi/, /ɑbˈsinɫi/ adv

In an obscene manner; vulgarly.

Word Origin 'Obscene' comes from Latin 'obscenus', meaning 'offensive, filthy'. The origin is uncertain, but it may be from 'ob-' (against) and 'caenum' (mud, filth)—so literally 'against filth', but it came to mean the filth itself. 'Obscenely' is the adverb form. The same root gives us 'obscenity' and 'obsceneness'. The breakdown obscene+ly shows the base adjective plus the adverbial suffix.
