In an equivocal manner; ambiguously or in a way that could have multiple interpretations.
From 'equivocal' (adjective) plus '-ly' (manner adverb suffix). 'Equivocal' derives from Medieval Latin 'aequivocus,' combining 'aequus' (equal) and 'vox' (voice).
When someone answers 'equivocally' in a job interview, they're technically answering your question but avoiding commitment—it's a survival skill in high-stakes situations where clarity could hurt you.
