Blotchily

/ˈblɑtʃəli/ adverb

Definition

Etymology

From blotchy (adjective meaning having blotches) plus -ly adverbial suffix, creating an adverb that describes how something appears or is done.

Kelly Says

Adverbs like blotchily are tricky because they describe qualities we can see, not actions we do—you can't really 'blotchily do something,' but you can paint or stain something blotchily.
