blunderingly

/ˈbɫəndɝɪŋli/ adv

In a blundering way; making mistakes.

Word Origin Blunderingly means in a blundering manner, stumbling clumsily. 'Blunder' comes from Old Norse 'blundra', meaning to shut the eyes and doze, then to stumble around blindly. The -ing makes it a present participle adjective, and -ly turns it into an adverb. So blunderingly is moving like someone half-asleep, bumping into things. A 'blunderhead' is a person who often blunders.
