In a manner characterized by groaning; while making groans of pain, discomfort, or disapproval.
From groaning (present participle of groan) plus the adverbial suffix -ly. This converts the verb form into an adverb describing how an action is performed.
The -ly suffix on present participles creates some of English's most expressive adverbs — 'groaningly' captures both sound and emotion simultaneously!
