Unwisely manipulated tiny red lump (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

imprudently

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unwisely' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'manipulated tiny red lump' is the wordplay.
'manipulated' is an anagram indicator.
'tiny'+'red'+'lump'='tinyredlump'
'tinyredlump' anagrammed gives 'IMPRUDENTLY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for imprudently that I've seen is " In a foolish manner".)
