Definition
In a way that is not bright; with low light, or in a way that is unclear or faint.
Etymology
From dim + -ly (adverb suffix). Old English 'dim' relates to the idea of being dark or obscure, with the adverb form created by adding the standard -ly ending.
Kelly Says
Dimly is interesting because it describes both physical light and metaphorical understanding—you can see something dimly (faint light) or remember something dimly (vague memory), showing how English uses the same word for different senses.
