Superstitiously is the adverb: it describes doing something in a way that is driven by . It attaches to an action — 'she superstitiously touched the wood', 'he superstitiously refused to say the number out loud', 'they superstitiously kept the old coin in the till'. What it adds is a small explanation of why the person did the thing: not for a real reason, but because of a belief about luck. It is a fairly word. In speech people usually say it a longer way — 'because he's superstitious', 'out of ' — while the single adverb turns up more in novels and articles, often placed right before the verb, where it lets the writer explain a character's odd little action in one word without stopping the sentence.
迷信地(出於迷信而做某事)
組成superstitious + -ly, the ending that turns an adjective into an adverb: quick → quickly, careful → carefully. Underneath, the whole chain is super- + stare + -tion + -ous + -ly, five pieces stacked up.
