In a way that serves to distinguish or mark as different; with the effect of setting apart.
From the present participle distinguishing plus -ly. This creates an adverb describing the manner of distinguishing action.
This adverb captures the *process* of distinguishing rather than the result—think of it as describing the action of sorting or differentiating in real-time, which is rarer and more dynamic than similar words.
