Forgettably

/fərˈɡɛtəbli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that is easily forgotten or not memorable; unremarkably.

Etymology

From 'forgettable' (able to be forgotten) plus '-ly' suffix. The base 'forgettable' uses the suffix '-able' (capable of being), added to the verb 'forget.'

Kelly Says

This word is used to describe things so unmemorable they deserve to fade from memory—like a forgettably generic pop song or a forgettably dull conversation. It's a polite way of saying 'so boring it doesn't deserve remembering.'
