blindly

/ˈbɫaɪndɫi/ adv B2

without thinking

Word Origin From Proto-Germanic *blindaz 'blind, dim' — the idea of being clouded or obscured. Blindly means acting without seeing, like a blind person. The PIE root *bhlendh- meant 'to blend, cloud', which also gives us 'blend' and 'blunder' (to stumble blindly). Related: 'blindness', 'blindfold', 'blindside'.
