Yes, we have. Most usually, they are formed with most.

Example:
Most usually
, they are formed with
"most"

As Mariner suggested, we can form adverb superlatives by adding "most" (though I wouldn't have chosen "usually").

We can also form them by changing the y to i and adding -est.

Most likely
likeliest
