Hazily

/ˈheɪzɪli/ adverb

Definition

In a hazy manner; in a way that is unclear, obscured, or not well-defined.

Etymology

From 'hazy' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly', which converts adjectives to adverbs describing how something is done or occurs.

Kelly Says

Philosophers call vague or unclear thinking 'hazily reasoned,' and interestingly, psychologists find that people who think hazily tend to be more creative—their brain's looseness with categories allows novel connections others miss.
