Disjointedly

/dɪsˈdʒɔɪntɪdli/ adverb

Definition

In a disjointed manner; in a way that is disconnected, incoherent, or lacking logical flow.

Etymology

From disjointed + -ly (the adverb-forming suffix). Converts the adjective into an adverb describing how an action is performed.

Kelly Says

The -ly suffix transforms adjectives into adverbs that describe manner—it's so productive that English speakers immediately understand any adjective + ly combination, even if they've never heard it before.
